The Truth About Lash Fibers: Why PBT and Certifications Matter

When it comes to eyelash extensions, not all fibers are created equal. At Naked Lash, we carefully select the highest-quality materials to ensure that our products not only look stunning but are also safe and long-lasting. Let’s break down what PBT fiber really is, why Korean PBT fiber is the gold standard, and why MSDS and SGS certifications add unmatched value to your lash artistry.


🌸 What is PBT Fiber?

PBT stands for Polybutylene Terephthalate, a premium synthetic polymer from the polyester family. It is:

  • Lightweight → feels soft and comfortable on natural lashes.
  • Heat- and water-resistant → keeps curl and shape even in humid or hot conditions.
  • Flexible yet strong → holds its form without being brittle.
  • Hypoallergenic → safe for use around the delicate eye area.

Because of these qualities, PBT is the material of choice for professional eyelash extensions, giving them a natural, silky finish that mimics real lashes.


🇰🇷 What is Korean PBT Fiber?

While PBT is produced in multiple countries, Korean PBT fiber is regarded as the highest grade available worldwide. Here’s why lash artists prefer it:

  • Superior consistency: Each lash is evenly tapered and uniform.
  • Ultra-soft touch: Mimics the natural lash better than cheaper alternatives.
  • Durable quality: Maintains curl longer without flattening or twisting.
  • Luxury finish: Matte or semi-matte sheen, never overly shiny or plastic-looking.

At Naked Lash, we source Korean PBT fiber exclusively, ensuring that every lash you apply feels weightless, natural, and luxurious.

Simply put: low-quality fibers cut costs but compromise comfort, style, and client safety.


📄 Why MSDS and SGS Certifications Matter

Premium material is only one side of the story. The safety and transparency of lash products depend on proper certification.

  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)
    • Required in the U.S. and Canada.
    • Lists product composition, hazards, safe use, and emergency guidance.
    • Ensures lash artists know exactly what they are working with.
  • SGS Testing
    • Independent, third-party global lab testing.
    • Confirms products are free from harmful substances like formaldehyde or MMA.
    • Validates that products meet international safety standards.

Together, these certifications prove that your lash liquids and fibers are not just effective—they are safe, transparent, and trustworthy.
