Formulation view An eye cream based on silicone and mineral oil occlusion, enriched with squalane derivatives and glycerine for hydration. It includes Vitamin C derivatives and peptides for fine lines, with titanium dioxide for coverage. Targets mature eye skin. Factory view: the silicone and light mineral oil base balances occlusion with lightness, requiring careful formulation for eye area sensitivity.

Ingredients explained

Aqua / Water / Eau

Solvent base, highest %; sterility required; impacts solubility and stability of other ingredients

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Cetyl Peg/Ppg-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol

Antioxidant and skin conditioning agent; effective at low levels, test for sensitivity.

Methylsilanol/Silicate Crosspolymer

Siloxane crosspolymer for smooth, matte texture; non-comedogenic, but check compatibility with other silicones.

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide / Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Anionic thickener/stabilizer for creams/gels; water-soluble polymer, low irritation, potential incompatibility with other ionic ingredients.

Peg-6 Isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for emulsion stability; low MW PEG, no significant irritation or comedogenic data.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Menthoxypropanediol

Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data

Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone

Antioxidant that protects other actives from oxidative degradation, enhancing product shelf life and stability.

Pentasodium Pentetate

Gentle chelator replacing EDTA; prevents oxidation discoloration, low dosage

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Hesperetin Laurate

Lipophilic antioxidant (hesperetin laurate) with good stability; used for skin conditioning at low levels.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide

Chemical auxiliary for forming acyl ester bonds; usually not retained in final product, control residual levels during synthesis.

Dipeptide-2

Not decoded yet

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.

Chrysin

Flavonoid for skin conditioning; low solubility, use carriers or micronization.
