## What Is in the Formula?

MAC describes a 93% naturally derived, five-ingredient formula. The ingredients its page lists are:

-   Water
-   Alcohol Denat.
-   Acrylic Acid/VP Crosspolymer
-   Aminomethyl Propanediol
-   Citric Acid

Our launch post said the gel polymer technology gives hold without dryness, stiffness or stickiness.

**Our take:** "naturally derived" describes where the ingredients come from, not how gentle they are. The formula contains Alcohol Denat., so if you have sensitive skin around the brows, patch test first.

## How Does the Brush Work?

The dual-sided brush has long and short fibers for grooming and a tapered tip for precise styling. MAC says you can get looks from "softly groomed to salon-worthy laminated looks." For a comparison with a budget clear gel, see our [e.l.f. Brow Laminating Gel guide](https://beauty-talk.club/posts/1647): $9, 4.6 stars from 17,271 reviews.

## Who Should Buy It?

**Buy it if** you want a flexible, flake-free hold with a short ingredient list and a brush that can groom or style.

**Skip it if** you want tinted color: the gel is universal clear.

## What Is Confirmed, and What Is Not?

**Confirmed:** price, size, claims, ingredients and rating are from MAC's [product page](https://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13834/124004/products/makeup/eyes/eyebrow/pro-locked-brow-gel).

**Not confirmed:** the "12 hours" claim, which is MAC's and which we haven't tested. The page doesn't say how MAC measured it.

**September 21, 2026 update:** we re-checked the price and claims. The price is $2 above the April 2024 launch price.
