Out of all the makeup products, kajal is perhaps the most natural one. It is also the most used and most coveted one, considering kajal in eyes was never really considered a vanity. Whether we look at the history that germinated from the ancient Egypt, or even the tales of our grandmoms who advocated the use of kajal for eyes, it was always for the benefits.
Time passed, from the days of Cleopatra to the Hollywood days, but black kajal eyes stayed. The trend of having kajal in eyes never really went away. The interesting part of this trend is the fact that the best dark kajal for eyes is seldom considered makeup. Often, it is considered a part of skincare. Ask your grandmother, she would tell you. This was a product that truly made the eyes of a woman shine with all the goodness of the ingredients that it had to offer. The kohl was made daily and applied daily, albeit it was not resistant to water or smudges.
With time, as the world developed, there was a need for a solid eye stick kajal that could last for a long time and would also fit inside the purse. Thus came the long lasting and pigmented dark kajal eyes that were formulated using preservatives. However, there was one big problem. As the world further progressed, preservatives such as mineral oils and parabens proved to be harmful, enough to cause even skin issues such as cancer.
There was a gap in the market for the best dark kajal for eyes that could be natural. Did that mean we could go back to the formulations of the good old days? But that would have been impractical. Hence came kajals, which when applied on face with the rest of the makeup, was soothing for the lack of toxic ingredients, yet was a long lasting kajal for eyes.
This is the blog where we tell you all about such kajals, but before that, we will tell you why natural kajals are so good for the eyes.
Why is natural kajal so good?
Dark kajal eyes are not just stunning, they are beautiful and amazing for your visual health as well. There is a reason it has been in vogue for a long time. It is not just so that she gets noticed. It is also for you to get those sharp eyes that are not just gorgeous to look at, but also derive all the benefits that natural kohl has to give. A good kajal now also can transform into other eye makeup products — a versatile eyeshadow stick, an eyeliner, and more. It should be a quick fix. And that is only possible if the kajal is a natural one. Synthetic ones can give you a best kajal for eyes vibe and even make the eyes of a woman shine, and of others who enjoy the application, but, at the end of the day it is going to harm your eyes in the long run.
Kajal in eyes may have evolved, but the evolution with preservatives, sulphates, parabens, etc has not been good. It’s about seeing the larger picture. A kajal is not just a coloured cosmetic applied to the eyelids or to the skin around the eyes to accentuate them. It is much more than that, a care product as well.
Hence, the need is to remove such toxic preservatives and replace the same with natural pigments and preservatives so that you get the same kajal look, but your coloured cosmetic for the eyes isn’t toxic anymore. Yes, we still need science and technology to bind it all together, but good ingredients will help you get the most stunning looks, not at the cost of your eyes. It’s couture with comfort, care and colour bound in one. Whether you sport it for something as natural as an office look or a dating look, or for something rough for an adventure look or an outdoor touring look, or even an intense one for a party look, you need a kajal that does not keep you up and worrying about the health of your eyes, rather, it enhances it. Natural kajal is the answer. It is the best dark kajal for eyes.
So, what are the benefits that natural kajal has to offer? If you ask us, many. Let us list down a few for you, along with the ingredients that are commonly a part of natural kajal makeup.
#1 Anti-bacterial
First and foremost, a natural and organic kajal is anti-bacterial in nature. This is because it is made using copper which has healing properties and is also a known purifier. So, with every application, you get gorgeous eyes. It also helps relax the eye muscles and soothe it, which is of utmost importance in today’s hustled lifestyle where we all are glued to the screens almost 24×7. Our eyes need products, whether the ones that colour it or care for it, to be natural yet effective. A natural kajal can give you those dark eyes, whether you use it as an eyeliner, as an eyeshadow stick or eye stick or on its own. With the goodness of natural ingredients, it soothes but does not smudge and stays put. Go for clean beauty options that come with the promise of veganism and no cruelty, along with a pledge of not using toxic ingredients.
#2 Even tones and nourishes
Yes, who says your vitamins should only be on the plate? While choosing an eye product, check the ingredients. For instance, Kiro Beauty eye makeup products have the goodness of natural oils and vitamin C and E that not only help heal the skin around the eyes, but also even-tone the skin for eyes that look fresh with every application. Now, that is the best kajal for eyes, that does not care for your eyes in the short term, rather, for a long time. Whether you pick an eye stick in the form of a kajal or a brightening eyeshadow stick, the goodness of such vegan oils nourishes the eyes, and the effectiveness of the vitamins ensures the skin around your eyes does not prematurely age and is cared for.
#3 Improves vision
We want dark kajal eyes so that our features of face look even better, our eyes even richer and more mysterious than they really are. But, do you really want that at the cost of your vision? Yes, parabens and preservatives, in the long run, can hamper vision, if you do not pay attention to what are you applying on your eyes. On the other hand, clean beauty options, the ones that truly do away with toxicity, at the same time ensuring the pigmentation and longevity of your kajal does not get affected, improves the eye skin and vision at the same time, every time you don it. When applied on face, it should enhance the way you feel about yourself and give your eyes the soothing comfort they need, rather than harming them. Natural kajal is the way out.
#4 Relaxes
Nearly all of us are on our screens all the time. Even if we don’t have a job that demands being on the screen (which is a rarity) we have our phones to blame. With all the connections and connectivity now on the pocket screens, we hardly are away from it. Our eyes are constantly on the move, hardly relaxing, whether on the screen or off it. Applying the right kind of kajal makes sure that your eyes are relaxed and not burning up or anxious. This, in turn, improves vision and also reduces the scope for headaches, etc. Many clean kajal for eyes come with natural relaxants that soothe the eyes and prep it for the longer run.
When we talk about evolution, it is not just in terms of texture and utility, it is also the way makeup and kajal is perceived. It is no longer just for girls, or for the front profile of a woman. A kajal is now gender neutral as more and more people find their voices and a means of expression in makeup. The more natural the product, the more guilt free it is. And natural kajal, with all its benefits, is a no-toxicity product that is a must for the eyes.
Now that you know the benefits of clean and natural kajal for eyes, let us suggest a few options that can become a part of your eye makeup kit.
