Besides water, RevitaLash is made from several ingredients which can be found on its website or on the RevitaLash packaging.

Both are ingredients in RevitaLash and according to the FDA, when these two ingredients are used together, they may seriously harm infants which is why it is important to keep cosmetic products out of reach of children.
