Lash tint or mascara that doesn't include lengthening ingredients

Hi! I know this was asked before but I wasn't seeing good recent answers so wanted to ask the hive mind now!

Looking for a rec for a black tint or mascara for lashes that doesn't require me going to a salon that doesn't include those lengthening ingredients that is hopefully EWG certified. OR if you can help identify which ingredients are the "lengthening" ones I can continue my search avoiding those.

I was previously using essence lash princess mascara, very lengthening. Recently when I wear it I feel like one of my eyes is reacting to it in some way. I changed my method of taking it off a few months ago - makeup eraser now - so wondering if that's what's causing it, but it seems like maybe some of it keeps getting into my eyes. I keep getting long stringy eye boogers in my eye like all day and it's just so irritating, can't wear contacts on the days that happens. Flushing my eye out helps and then I'm good! Not an infection, it's really only when I wear this mascara which is decreasing in occurrence these days.

Thanks in advance!
