Formula Review for Under-Eye Puffiness Cream

Thank you for providing your formula for an under-eye puffiness cream. This formula is designed as a cream emulsion, combining water-based and oil-based ingredients with emulsifiers to create a stable product.

Key ingredients in your formula include:

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5: This is a peptide specifically known for its efficacy in reducing under-eye bags and puffiness by targeting the mechanisms that cause fluid accumulation and edema in the eye area.
Emollients and Oils: Ingredients like Isopropyl Myristate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Apricot Kernel Oil, and Shea Butter help to moisturize and soften the delicate skin around the eyes.
Emulsifiers: Glyceryl Stearate, Polysorbate 60, and Sorbitan Stearate are used to blend the oil and water phases together, creating a stable cream texture.
Thickeners/Stabilizers: Cetyl Alcohol and Carbomer help to build the structure and viscosity of the cream.
Humectant: Propylene Glycol helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin.
Preservatives: Phenoxyethanol and the paraben blend (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben) are included to prevent microbial growth and ensure product safety and shelf life.
Chelating Agent: Disodium EDTA helps to stabilize the formula by neutralizing metal ions in the water.
