Many clients believe that natural oils such as coconut, castor, or olive oil are a gentle way to remove eyelash extensions. However, in a professional setting like MONLIS Studio Munich, experts strongly advise against it. Oils dissolve the adhesive that bonds the extensions unevenly and uncontrollably, which can cause individual lashes to break or be pulled out, weakening the natural lash structure.
Moreover, oils leave a persistent greasy residue on the lashes and skin, making future applications more difficult. The adhesive won’t bond properly afterward, leading to poor results and shorter lash retention.
The Chemical Structure and Effect of Oils
Oils consist of lipids that contain fats and waxes. While nourishing, these molecules penetrate deeply into the adhesive layer between the natural lash and the extension. Instead of dissolving the bond completely, they only weaken it in patches. The glue becomes sticky rather than fully removed, making the process messy and unpredictable.
A professional remover, on the other hand, is formulated with ingredients designed to break down the adhesive’s polymer chains safely and evenly, without harming the lashes or the skin. It works within minutes, ensuring a controlled and damage-free removal.
Risks of Using Oils at Home
Using oils to remove lash extensions at home can cause more harm than good. Leaving oils on for too long can clog pores around the eyelids, trigger irritation, or cause swelling. Oils can also easily enter the eyes, leading to burning, tearing, and blurred vision.
In some cases, people try to pull off softened extensions after applying oil — which can tear out natural lashes and damage the follicles, leading to long-term lash thinning. For this reason, MONLIS Studio Munich recommends that lash removal always be performed by trained professionals.

At MONLIS Studio, lash experts use only certified and safe removers specifically formulated for the type of adhesive used. The remover is applied precisely with a micro brush, targeting only the glue bonds. After a short waiting time, the extensions are gently lifted off, leaving the natural lashes intact.
A nourishing aftercare treatment follows, including hydrating and strengthening formulas that restore lash elasticity and promote growth. Clients can immediately proceed with a new lash set — with excellent adhesion and a comfortable, natural feel.
