Eye Cream Formulation: Dry Skin, Dark Circles, and Texture Adjustment
Question
I am developing an eye cream formulation to address dry skin and dark circles. What ingredients are recommended for these concerns? How can I adjust the formulation, particularly the emulsion amount, to achieve a desired texture (e.g., less sticky/rich)? Are there any specific considerations regarding ingredient concentrations (like Argireline) for the eye area?
Answer
Based on the conversation, the staff has provided recommendations for your eye cream formulation to address dry skin and dark circles. They suggested adding Safe-B3 (Niacinamide) 5% and potentially Licorice Extract 1%, and reducing Argireline to 5% for the eye area. These ingredients are suitable for an eye cream targeting these concerns. Regarding the emulsion amount for texture, adjusting the oil/emulsifier phase is key to controlling richness and stickiness. You may need to experiment to find the right balance for your desired texture.
