Formulation view Eye cream using a silicone and polyol base for smooth occlusion. Sugar isomerates boost hydration, while acetyl tetrapeptide-5 and palmitoyl tripeptide-38 target fine lines. Preserved with benzoic acid and hexylene glycol; light, non-greasy texture for delicate eye areas. Formulator note: High silicone content requires balancing hydration efficacy against potential pore clogging risks; sensitive skin should patch test first.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Prunus Yedoensis Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxypropyl Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin to complex fragrances/actives; boosts solubility and stability.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5
- Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, a moisturizing peptide that enhances skin hydration via hydrolysis, typically mild, used to improve dryness
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38
- Palmitoyl tripeptide; signaling peptide for collagen and antioxidants; 0.1-1% typical, light-sensitive
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
