Formulation view Aqueous gel base thickened by carbomer, featuring panthenol for repair and acrylates copolymer for film-forming. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. Suitable for eye and brow areas requiring high tolerance. Factory observation: Sodium hydroxide neutralizes the resin, demanding precise pH control; phenoxyethanol poses irritation risks in the periocular zone, necessitating a minimalistic formulation to reduce allergen exposure.
