Eye Gel Formulation for Wrinkles, Dark Circles, and Eye Bags with Centella Extract

Question

I need a formula for an eye cream or eye gel that helps reduce wrinkles, dark circles, and under-eye bags. I want to use the following ingredients:

Orange Peel
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Argireline
Pep Coll
Centella Asiatica extract madecassoside

Could you provide a suitable formulation using these ingredients? Specifically, how should I incorporate the Centella Asiatica extract madecassoside? Does it need to be dissolved in an oil like coconut oil first?

Here is a suggested eye gel formula based on your requested ingredients and the staff's advice:

Ingredients:

Water Phase:
- Orange Peel
- Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) - max 2%
- Argireline
- Pep Coll
- Water
- Natural preservative
Oil Phase:
- Centella Asiatica extract madecassoside 7%
Thickener/Emulsifier:
- Pro Polymer or Pro Polymer Silk (0.5-1.0%)

Instructions:

Combine all water phase ingredients and mix.
Add Pro Polymer or Pro Polymer Silk to create the gel texture.
Once the gel is formed, add the Centella Asiatica extract (oil phase).
Mix until well combined to get the cream-gel texture.

The staff confirmed that the Centella Asiatica extract is already an oil and can be added directly to the gel phase without needing to be dissolved in another oil.
