What is SNAP?

SNAP is a professional PPD-Free Brow Gel Tint ↗ designed for all the clients who couldn’t enjoy traditional dyes because of sensitivity or allergic reactions. Unlike regular tints, SNAP doesn’t stain the hairs, it stains the skin only, creating a soft, makeup-like shadow that lasts up to 7 days.

Best of all? SNAP works fast. The gel formula develops in just a couple of minutes, making it one of the quickest brow treatments you can add to your menu. It’s easy to use, requires no mixing or activators, and delivers consistent results that clients instantly love!

Why is SNAP Safe? - Discover the ingredients

Do you wonder how the tint works without PPD? Let's go over the ingredients that make it so safe!

  • Iron Oxides – Naturally derived mineral pigments that replace PPD-based dyes. Yes, that's the secret! They give SNAP its true-to-shade color while being gentle on the skin. Because they only bind to the surface, they create a clean, even stain without penetrating deeper layers of the skin.
  • Caprylyl Glycol – A multitasking ingredient that works as both a humectant and antimicrobial agent. It helps the skin stay hydrated during and after application while also preserving the product’s freshness.
  • Castor Oil – You must recognize this one! It's known conditioning benefits, castor oil ensures SNAP glides smoothly on the skin. It prevents dripping, helps distribute the gel evenly, and leaves the brows feeling nourished rather than dry.

Together, these ingredients create a tint that’s gentle yet powerful: safe enough for sensitive clients, but effective enough to give that crisp, makeup-like brow stain professionals love.

Benefits of SNAP (and why Brow Pros love it)

SNAP isn’t just another tint - it’s quickly becoming a go-to treatment for Brow Pros worldwide. Alejandra, the Master Trainer of our newest Certified SNAP Course ↗ shared about SNAP:

“I love that SNAP finally gives us a safe option for sensitive clients. I always start with a deep cleanse so the gel adheres properly, then apply in thin, even layers. One drop is enough for both brows, and within minutes you have results clients instantly love.”

Let's go over the benefits:

  1. Safe for everyone

    Because it’s PPD-free, SNAP is suitable for sensitive and allergy-prone clients. That means no more turning clients away and no more worrying about irritation.

  2. Super fast results

    SNAP develops in just 2–4 minutes, making it one of the quickest brow services you can offer. Perfect for busy clients or as an add-on treatment.

  3. Easy application

    The gel formula comes ready to use - no mixing, no fuss. One drop is enough for both brows, saving time and product. Still, it's good to enroll in our Certified Course to master the technique, as it differs from traditional dyes.

  4. Makeup-like finish

    SNAP stains only the skin, creating a defined, natural-looking shadow effect that lasts up to 7 days. Clients love the “wake-up-with-brows” look.

Sneak Peek from Alejandra

Want a taste of what you’ll learn inside the course? Here are a few of Alejandra’s go-to tips:

“I always start by cleansing with Pro-Cleanser or Foam-Cleanser to remove makeup and oils. This ensures the gel adheres properly.”

Apply in thin, even layers:

“Tap the tail for sharp definition, sweep the middle for coverage, and soften the fronts upward for a natural ombré.”

Adjust timing:

Remove fronts after 1–2 minutes for a soft ombré, or keep it on up to 4 minutes for a bolder, more defined stain.
