What it is — Bimatoprost (INCI/INN: Bimatoprost) is a synthetic prostaglandin-analogue compound. It is a pharmaceutical-type ingredient sometimes found in lash-focused products, not a cosmetic conditioning agent.

What it does — This entry describes it neutrally rather than making efficacy claims. As a drug-type ingredient, its use and legality vary by market and it should only be used within an appropriately regulated, directed product.

Typical use — It appears in some lash- and brow-focused serums where permitted.

Who it suits / good to know — Because it is a pharmaceutical-type ingredient, it is best used under professional guidance; possible effects and side effects are a medical matter, not a cosmetic one.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk and flags it as an active better suited to expert review than routine cosmetic grading. This is general information, not medical advice; consult a clinician before use and follow the product's directions.

Why we grade it Mid: Mid risk - functional/OTC-type active rather than a standard cosmetic ingredient; graded mid on an EWG-style basis. Informational only, not medical advice.

How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products.
