The Quick Take
Answer: Babe Original Essential Lash Serum is not prostaglandin-free. Its official product page says it contains a small amount of isopropyl cloprostenate, a synthetic prostaglandin analog. That label fact should lead the decision for anyone avoiding prostaglandin analogues.
Current official price checked August 2026: $49. The page lists three Essential Lash Serum variants: 3 Month Supply (2 mL), 6 Month Supply (4 mL), and Mini 6 Week Supply (1 mL).
What changed on
We added original package photography showing the two multilingual warning and direction sheets included with the photographed unit, and transcribed the visible English precautions. The official price, variants, isopropyl cloprostenate classification, score, and ranking are unchanged.
Verdict: Score and ranking unchanged after this source check.

Babe Lash becomes Babe Original
The company rebranded as it expanded into brows, hair and lip care, while saying the core serum formula stayed the same. Source

Variants and price rechecked
The official page lists the core product at $49 and separates it from the Renewing Lash Serum. Source
How it earned attention
Babe built from a single lash hero into a broader treatment-focused beauty range. The 2022 rebrand made that portfolio expansion explicit while keeping Essential Lash Serum as the best-known anchor product. Source
Package label check:
What we found on the photographed unit: The Babe Original package photographed by The Lash List included two separate multilingual warning and direction sheets. In the visible English panel, the insert says the product is for external use, says not to share the applicator, and instructs users to discontinue use if irritation develops.
Evidence limit: This documents one photographed unit. Packaging, formulas, and inserts can vary by market, lot, size, and date. The photograph does not establish how often a reaction occurs or prove that the finished formula is safe for every user.

What the Current INCI List Supports
The current official ingredient list starts with water, glycerin, sodium citrate, panthenol, and Leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate. It also lists ginseng root extract, grape seed extract, amino acids, biotin, sodium hyaluronate, and isopropyl cloprostenate. We do not describe this current Essential label as a castor-oil or peptide formula because those ingredients are not named in its displayed INCI list.
We do not have a product-specific tester-panel result to report for Essential Lash Serum. The brand references a 12-week consumer and clinical study with 30 subjects on its rebrand page, but the public marketing summary is not a substitute for a finished-formula study report that we can independently assess.
Safety and Formula Intent
The essential question is not whether the product is marketed as conditioning. It is that the official directions and warnings identify isopropyl cloprostenate as a synthetic prostaglandin analog. The page directs users to apply a single stroke just above the upper lash line on clean, dry skin, avoid the lower lash line and eye contact, and rinse with cool water if product gets into the eye.
The brand also says not to use Essential Lash Serum if pregnant or nursing, while undergoing treatment for glaucoma or cancer, or with certain eye symptoms or conditions. It advises discontinuing use if irritation occurs and seeking medical attention if symptoms persist. These are the manufacturer’s current precautions, not a prevalence estimate or a diagnosis.
Product Identity and Alternatives
Babe Lash rebranded to Babe Original in 2022. In its current rebrand explanation, the company says Essential Lash Serum’s formula did not change during that name and packaging transition. The same page identifies Renewing Lash Serum as a separate prostaglandin-free alternative. That distinction matters: this review is only about Essential Lash Serum, not every Babe Original lash product.
Verdict
Choose Essential Lash Serum only with a clear understanding that it is a prostaglandin-analogue formula. The official $49 product page provides a concrete label, three sizes, application directions, and warnings; it does not justify claims about how often adverse effects occur or how this finished formula compares with other products for results.
