Formulation view Gel-based eye care using Carbomer base with caffeine for circulation and peptide complexes for hydration. Shea butter adds nourishment while cationic polymers enhance adhesion. Suitable for puffiness and dryness. Formulator observation: The INCI list contains redundant entries, suggesting a potential multi-phase system or labeling redundancy that requires verification.

Ingredients explained

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Caffeine

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

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Extract

Shea butter extract for conditioning and moisture; extraction may leave trace impurities, comedogenicity follows base oil rating of 2.

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch for oil absorption/films/thickening, 2–8%; mildew risk in high humidity, needs preservatives.

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride

Diamonium surfactant; superior conditioning for damaged hair, milder than mono

Polyquaternium-67

Not decoded yet

Hydrated Silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Eyeseryl®

Not decoded yet

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5

Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, a moisturizing peptide that enhances skin hydration via hydrolysis, typically mild, used to improve dryness

Peptides

Not decoded yet

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Phenoxyethanol

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

Ethyl Hexyl Glycerine

Ethylhexylglycerin for humectancy and preservative boosting; usually co-formulated with glycerin, low irritation at typical levels.

Glycerin

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

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycerin

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

Camellia Sinensis

Not decoded yet

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

PEG -7 Glyceryl Cocoate

Not decoded yet

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
