"We don't follow the market, we lead it": My Lamination speaks to Les Nouvelles Esthétiques
My Lamination was founded in 2017 and is now distributed in over 58 countries: what were the strategic levers that allowed you to become an international reference brand in lamination so quickly? We grew fast because we had a very clear direction from the start. In 2017, we didn't just found a brand, we gave shape to a precise idea of how the lamination industry should evolve. We focused on real innovation and training that could make a tangible difference in the field. But above all, we built an international model from day one, choosing partners who shared our vision. The real key, however, was something else: not simply selling a product, but a system capable of becoming a point of reference. Being present, reliable, close to partners, collaborators and colleagues in every market. In a sector that is often static, we brought speed, clarity and ambition. And this, more than anything else, allowed us to turn a company into a brand present in over 58 countries in just a few years. Because our ambition was never to participate in the market, but to help define its direction. Your founder, Corina Maleca, has built a strong connection between research, training and product: how important is training (the Academy) today in the brand's development and in building loyalty among beauty professionals? Training today is not an accessory element: it is one of the pillars on which we have built our brand. From the very beginning, our founder Corina Maleca understood that innovation and product alone are not enough without a genuine transfer of skills and knowledge. Her track record speaks for itself: a qualified aesthetician, LamiMaker, graduate in economic law, and the recipient of 36 international awards in the lamination sector, including Person of the Year, Best Speaker and Best Trainer across the editions of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. An international judge across 118 championships, speaker at 73 conferences, and active trainer in 39 countries. In 2016, she organised the Lamination European Championship in Italy, one of the sector's key events at a continental level. Our Academy has become a true engine of growth, not only for beauty professionals, but for us as a company. It is the place where the product comes to life, is fully understood, and is transformed into concrete value for the end client. This approach creates a far deeper connection than a simple commercial relationship. Professionals don't just purchase a product: they enter a system built around continuous learning, support and the sharing of expertise. And it is precisely here that loyalty is built through trust, competence, and the confidence of having a partner who genuinely invests in their growth. In an increasingly competitive market, the difference is made not only by what you offer, but by what you transfer. And we have chosen to transfer value and build expertise every single day. The lamination market is increasingly competitive: how do your protocols and formulations concretely differ from other players, both in terms of performance and safety? The lamination market is extremely competitive today, but the real difference is not played out on the quantity of offerings, but on the quality of research and the consistency of results. Our protocols and formulations stand out first and foremost for their scientific approach to performance: every product is born from a structured research phase and rigorous testing, with the goal of guaranteeing predictable, stable and replicable results over time. We don't work for trends, we work to lasting standards, consistent with our values and our commitment to environmental responsibility, which we consider non-negotiable. Another fundamental element is safety. We have chosen to invest in highly selective formulations, developed to be effective while remaining gentle on the structure of the lash and the skin, minimising the stress placed on the treated area. This is a balance we don't just claim, we prove it with scientific data. Studies on the efficacy of lash treatments were conducted at the Research and Development laboratories of the University of Medicine of Padua, Italy, assessing volumising action. The results showed a significant increase in individual lash diameter: +95.09% with My Lamination Classic Lash Lamination and +104.7% with My Lamination Korean Lash Lamination. Finally, our protocols are never separate from the product: they are an integral part of the system. Every stage of the treatment is designed to maximise the final result and ensure consistency, regardless of the setting or the operator. What sets us apart is not only what we do, but how we do it: with rigour, consistency and a constant focus on the technical evolution of the sector. Many beauty professionals today are looking for profitable treatments that are also easy to introduce into their salon: what business opportunities does lamination offer aesthetic centres, and how do you support them concretely? Today the aesthetics market has changed profoundly: beauty professionals are no longer simply looking for new treatments, but for concrete growth tools that are effective, sustainable and easily integrated into the day-to-day running of their salon. In this context, lamination represents one of the most interesting and strategic opportunities available. It is not simply a trend-driven service, but a high-perceived-value treatment with contained operational times and particularly attractive profitability. To this is added the ability to generate loyalty, including through home-care products: the visible result and the need for maintenance over time create a continuous flow of returning clients, transforming the service into a stable and lasting business lever. What truly makes the difference, however, is not the individual treatment, but the system that supports it. This is why our approach never stops at product supply, but extends to a complete support ecosystem. Training, through our Academy, is the first pillar: we don't just teach a technique, but a structured working method designed to guarantee consistent and replicable results. Alongside this, we provide strategic support in terms of marketing and communication, essential for turning a good treatment into a real business service. We help aesthetic centres to showcase it, position it correctly and communicate it effectively to their clients. Our support doesn't end with initial training: we build an ongoing relationship, because we believe that real value emerges over time, in our ability to accompany professionals through the growth and evolution of their business. Lamination is not an add-on treatment, but a genuine strategic lever. Our goal is to turn it into a concrete and sustainable opportunity for every professional we work with. You have expanded the brand beyond lamination into cosmetics and new segments: how do you see your role in the professional market evolving over the coming years? In recent years, our brand has undergone a natural yet deeply strategic evolution from a reality focused on lamination to a true professional beauty ecosystem. Today we are no longer just a treatment company, but a complete system that integrates training, product and operational support. On one side, we continue to develop the full technical range connected to lamination, professional tools such as brushes, rods and palettes because we believe that excellence always begins with the quality of execution. On the other, we have built a transversal cosmetic line designed to accompany and amplify the treatment experience in everyday life: professional and retail serums, facial skincare, hand cream, body cream, SPF, mascara, nude cream and fragrances. A system that goes beyond the salon and extends the value of the brand into the client's real life. This model is also reflected in our international reach: today we are present in 58 countries, with a network of over 350 trainers worldwide and 50 trainers covering every region of Italy. Added to this are over 400 awards won by our students, and 57 national and international recognitions earned by the brand itself, including Brand of the Year, 100 Italian Excellences and Top Lami Academy all of which speak to the strength and depth of our training ecosystem. Looking ahead, we see our role evolving towards an ever clearer direction: becoming a global point of reference in the professional beauty sector, not only through products, but through a model. A model in which training, innovation and cosmetics are not separate elements, but parts of a single vision to raise the standard of the market and offer professionals the concrete tools to grow, differentiate themselves and build solid, lasting businesses. Our goal is not simply to expand, but to consolidate and strengthen a system already recognised internationally and to continue evolving it with consistency, quality and ambition. We believe that the true value of a company lies in its people: who you are, more than what you own, is the lever that generates authentic and lasting growth. Rising is visibility. Staying at the top is identity. We chose the second: every day, for over ten years.

Nickel in Cosmetics: What You Really Need to Know
In the world of beauty and professional lash and brow care, ingredient safety is an absolute priority. We often hear about “cosmetic allergies,” and the main suspect is almost always the same: Nickel. But what exactly is it? Is it possible to eliminate it completely? In this article we clarify what this heavy metal really is, debunk some common myths, and explain why transparency and clinical testing are essential for brands like My Lamination. Nickel: An Unexpected Guest, Not an Ingredient Contrary to what many people believe, nickel and other heavy metals are not intentionally added to cosmetics. It is not part of the formula ingredients, but rather considered an impurity. Its possible presence mainly comes from: Raw material impurities Mineral pigments (such as iron oxides) Technically unavoidable residues from the manufacturing process Nickel is most commonly found in pigments (colorants) used to make products visually appealing or in color cosmetics such as mascaras, pencils, and other makeup products. Because nickel is a natural component of iron oxide, it is technically impossible to eliminate it 100% from mineral-derived raw materials. Regulation and the Meaning of “Nickel Free” According to EU Regulation EC No. 1223/2009, nickel and its compounds are prohibited in cosmetics. However, the regulation allows the presence of technically unavoidable trace amounts. Here is an important fact: with current technology, a cosmetic product that is 100% nickel-free does not exist. When a product is labeled as such, it generally means that the amount of nickel present is extremely low, so small that it does not trigger reactions in the vast majority of people with nickel sensitivity. The Importance of Clinical Testing Why does My Lamination place such strong emphasis on quality? Because clinical testing is the only real way to guarantee product safety. Initiatives such as “Toxic Free” campaigns allow brands to demonstrate, with scientific data, that their formulas: Are not toxic Do not irritate the skin These tests ensure high safety standards for professionals and end customers alike. Nickel is Everywhere - Not Just in Cosmetics It may be surprising to learn that nickel is present in many everyday products, including: Foods Black tea Chocolate Soy Oats Buckwheat Processed foods Tuna and canned products Objects Jewelry Coins Metal accessories Awareness is the first step toward safe and conscious beauty choices. Choosing tested and certified products means caring for skin health without giving up the outstanding results that only high-quality professional treatments can deliver. FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Nickel in Cosmetics What is nickel called in cosmetics? Nickel does not appear in the ingredient list (INCI) because it is not intentionally added; it is considered a trace impurity. However, it is often associated with mineral colorants such as iron oxides, which appear in the INCI with codes like: CI 77491 CI 77492 CI 77499 On tested products you will usually find the claim “Nickel Tested.” Which cosmetics are nickel-free? From a technical perspective, cosmetics that are completely nickel-free (0%) do not exist. However, there are Nickel Tested cosmetics, which guarantee that the amount of nickel present is below a minimal threshold (usually < 0.00001% or 1 ppm — one part per million), considered safe even for people with contact allergies. Where is nickel found in cosmetics? Nickel may be present in: Mineral pigments, especially iron oxides Color cosmetics such as makeup, mascaras, pencils, and brow products Raw material impurities It is not intentionally added to formulations. How can you tell if cosmetics contain nickel? Since it does not appear in the ingredient list, the only reliable way is to check whether the product is labeled “Nickel Tested.” This claim indicates that the manufacturer has conducted clinical or laboratory tests to verify that nickel traces are below allergenic reaction thresholds. If you have very sensitive skin, it is advisable to avoid products that do not mention clinical testing or purity certifications.

Cysteamine: The Gentle Revolution in Lash Lifting
The professional beauty industry is constantly evolving, and as a lashmaker, lamimaker, or qualified esthetician, staying updated on the latest innovations is essential to offer clients cutting-edge treatments. Today we're talking about an ingredient that is transforming the way we think about lamination: cysteamine, the beating heart of the new Cysteamine Lift by My Lamination. What is Cysteamine? Cysteamine (or cysteamine hydrochloride) is an amino acid derivative naturally present in the human body. In the context of lash lamination, it acts as the main active ingredient to break and rebuild the disulfide bonds within the keratin structure of the hair, creating the lifting and curling effect we want to achieve. Unlike traditional systems based on TGA (thioglycolic acid), cysteamine represents an alternative that works in synergy with the natural chemistry of the hair. Precisely because its composition corresponds to molecules already present in our body, it proves significantly more compatible with lashes and the delicate periocular area. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for clients with sensitive eyes and for those who desire a more delicate treatment. What is TGA (Thioglycolic Acid) Before diving deeper into the differences, it's important to understand what TGA is. Thioglycolic acid (often in the form of ammonium thioglycolate) has been the absolute protagonist in lash lamination solutions for years. It works by rapidly breaking the disulfide bonds in the hair shaft, allowing the lashes to be reshaped and lifted. Differences Between TGA and Cysteamine The fundamental differences between these two systems go beyond the simple active ingredient: Mode of action: Both break disulfide bonds, but cysteamine generally operates at more moderate pH intervals, with a gentler sensory experience compared to traditional thioglycolates. Application area: One crucial difference is that cysteamine-based solutions can be applied along the entire length of the lashes. TGA-based products, on the other hand, must be applied only up to a maximum of 80% of the length, avoiding the tips. Sensory experience: Cysteamine, while having a characteristic sulfurous odor, tends to be less bothersome during application. Most clients do not report discomfort during treatment. Post-treatment results: TGA-based systems can leave lashes drier, requiring careful post-treatment care. Cysteamine, thanks to the possibility of incorporating nourishing ingredients into the formula, leaves lashes soft, hydrated, and luminous. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages of Cysteamine: More delicate formula, ideal for clients with sensitivity Application along the entire length of the hair Lower risk of dryness and dehydration Leaves hair soft, elastic, and with a natural appearance Disadvantages to consider: Generally longer processing times compared to TGA (the Cysteamine Lift by My Lamination has only 1 minute more of processing time while maintaining the same effectiveness) Characteristic sulfurous odor, although more tolerable Still requires professional attention to avoid overtreatment Advantages of TGA: Quick processing times Effective on thick lashes Disadvantages of TGA: Higher risk of damage if applied by non-professionals Can dry out the lashes Limited application to avoid the tips Requires experience The choice between cysteamine and thioglycolate is not a question of "better or worse" in absolute terms, but of the right tool for the right client. Having both options in your beauty center allows you to personalize the treatment based on the initial assessment. Lash Lamination with Cysteamine The lamination process with Cysteamine Lift follows the classic steps of the treatment, but with some particularities that make it an enhanced experience: Consultation and assessment: As always, begin with an accurate analysis of the client's lashes, the desired result, and any sensitivities. The consultation is the moment to explain the specific advantages of the cysteamine-based formula. Patch test: Always have clients perform a patch test at least 24-48 hours before the complete treatment, done by their doctor or dermatologist of reference. The sensitive skin around the eyes can react quickly, so this step should never be skipped. Application of Cysteamine Lift: Unlike TGA-based products, you can apply the solution along the entire length of the lashes, without concerns. My Lamination recommends avoiding contact with the lash line; furthermore, the product on the tips does not increase the curvature. Processing times: Carefully monitor the times based on lash texture. Overtreatment is still possible if the product is left on for too long. Final result: The complete treatment takes about 45-60 minutes and offers a natural lift, more curved lashes that are beautifully separated and appear longer to the eye. Results last up to 8 weeks, depending on the client's natural regrowth cycle and post-treatment care. Safety and Treatment Duration Considerations Is It Safer? The question many professionals ask is legitimate: is cysteamine safer than thioglycolate? The most accurate answer is that cysteamine is generally more tolerable for many types of lashes and operates at a tendentially more moderate pH. However, both molecules are reducing agents and, if not used correctly, can damage the fiber or cause irritation or swelling. True safety depends on three factors: the quality of the product, the application protocol, and the competence of the lamimaker. Cysteamine offers a greater "margin of error," making it ideal for those who are starting to work on lashes. Duration of Results Many wonder which system offers longer-lasting results. In reality, both cysteamine and TGA can offer comparable durations (up to 8 weeks) when the protocol is performed correctly. The actual duration depends on: Natural lash cycle: each client has a personal regrowth rhythm Post-treatment care: use of nourishing serums, avoiding rubbing and oily products Initial lash health: healthy lashes maintain the lift longer Product quality: stable formula and quality ingredients make the difference Application technique: precision in timing and positioning is essential Professional Precautions Even when working with cysteamine, always maintain high safety standards: For professional use only by qualified estheticians and lamimakers Avoid direct contact with the eyes; in case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water Assess client suitability: certain eye conditions or particular sensitivities could make the person unsuitable Adequate training: even if more tolerant, cysteamine requires knowledge of the product and proper techniques Why Add This Treatment to Your Beauty Services Integrating Korean Lamination with Cysteamine Lift into your treatment menu is not just following a trend, but concretely responding to the needs of an evolving market. Here's why it represents a strategic investment for your beauty center: Competitive differentiation: Offering an innovative alternative positions you as a professional who is up-to-date and attentive to the latest technologies. It's a point of difference that attracts clients eager to try the latest novelties in the sector. Expanding the target audience: The gentleness of the formula opens the door to clients who have so far avoided lamination due to fears of sensitivity or damage. Clients with sensitive eyes or simply more attentive to the health of their lashes will find this treatment to be the ideal solution. Excellent results with greater peace of mind: The ability to apply the product over the entire lash makes the treatment more manageable, reducing stress during application and increasing client satisfaction. My Lamination recommends distributing the product starting 1-2mm from the lash line. Efficiency and speed: Once you've gained confidence with the product, you'll be able to optimize treatment times, maximizing client turnover without compromising quality. Korean technique: Combining cysteamine with the Korean lamination technique offers the best of both worlds: the impressive lift that clients love, while simultaneously supporting the strength and health of the lashes. Authentic Made in Italy: By choosing My Lamination, you offer your clients products made in Italy, synonymous with quality, safety, and effectiveness.
