Formulation view An upgraded eye cream using a similar silicone-based occlusion system, adding sorbitol and caffeine to boost circulation. It features Vitamin C derivatives, peptides, and physical powders for coverage. Targets aging eye wrinkles. Factory view: the addition of humectants and circulation boosters enhances active penetration, but high-concentration silicone bases require monitoring for eye irritation.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

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 Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions

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.

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.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract

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

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

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.

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Chlorhexidine Digluconate

Antimicrobial agent often in oral care or antiseptics; residual odor noted; long-term use may cause resistance or sensitivity.

N-Hydroxysuccinimide

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Dipeptide-2

Not decoded yet

Bht

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

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.
