The Company's Proprietary Hydrogel Technology Protects Lower Lashes and Allows for Gentle Removal

LANGHORNE, Pa., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEXGEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXGL, NXGLW), (“NEXGEL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of ultra-gentle, high-water-content hydrogel products for healthcare and consumer applications, announced today that the Company has launched its new MEDAGEL Hydroliner Pro pads for protecting eyelashes during cosmetic extension and lift and tint services. These under-eye pads provide powerful, yet skin-friendly adhesion aimed at isolating the lower lashes.

Hydroliner Pro represents NEXGEL’s first patented business-to-business product application. NEXGEL’s proprietary hydrogel base stays in place while being breathable, flexible and easily removable, all of which ensures maximum client comfort throughout the entire process. NEXGEL designed the patches to provide an ultra-hydrating experience to soothe the often puffy, sensitive under-eye areas and are lint- and paraben-free.

“While eyelash extensions and lash lifts have become popular services to enhance a person’s natural eyelashes, the unfortunate truth is that cosmetologists have been forced to choose between using under-eye pads that either slide around during the service — disrupting lower lash protection — or pads that are so sticky they tug at the delicate under-eye skin and are painful to remove,” said Adam Levy, Chief Executive Officer, NEXGEL. “We designed the Hydroliner Pro to make the eyelash extensions process as comfortable and seamless as possible for everyone. Although they function as adhesives, the pads can also be gently removed and replaced. If you’re looking to create a relaxing, high-end spa experience for your clients, this product is a must-have.”
