WHY SWITCH
3 Reasons to Switch to TOK Beauty
1
Your Lashes Get Stronger
Too Faced just coats your lashes. TOK Beauty actually strengthens them with horsetail plant extract and prevents breakage with pea protein. Your lashes improve the more you wear it.
2
No Nasties Near Your Eyes
Better Than Sex contains paraffin (petroleum-derived), synthetic beeswax, and phenoxyethanol. TOK uses plant-based ingredients you can actually pronounce - and your sensitive eyes will thank you.
3
Genuinely Ethical
Too Faced is owned by Estee Lauder, which sells in markets that require animal testing. TOK Beauty is independently cruelty-free, vegan, and ships in compostable packaging.
INGREDIENT CHECK
What You Are Putting Near Your Eyes Matters
Mascara sits on your lashes all day, millimetres from your eyes. The ingredients matter more than most people realise.
