Improving Eye Serum Texture: Reducing Stickiness and Increasing Absorption

Regarding your eye serum formula and the previous explanation from sj_yink:

The natural oils in your formula, such as Jojoba oil, Moringa oil, and Grapeseed oil, primarily function by coating the skin to reduce water loss, keeping the skin moisturized. They do not absorb deeply into the skin. Therefore, the feeling that the cream absorbs slowly might be due to the properties of these oils remaining on the skin surface.

If you want the cream to feel lighter, absorb faster, and be less sticky on the skin, you can modify the types of oils used or add ingredients that help improve the texture to make it lighter.

An ingredient recommended to help the cream feel like it absorbs faster is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is an Emollient Ester derived from coconut oil and glycerin. It has properties that help soften and moisturize the skin without leaving a greasy feel. It absorbs into the skin relatively quickly but still leaves a slightly nourishing feel, making the skin feel soft, smooth, and non-sticky. It also helps to disperse other ingredients in the formula well.

How to adjust the formula:

1. Reduce the amount of natural oils: You can reduce the amount of Jojoba oil, Moringa oil, or Grapeseed oil in your formula.
2. Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to replace the amount of oil you reduced.

Recommended Usage Rate:

You can use Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the formula from 1-20%.

For example, if you want a noticeably lighter texture, you could try reducing the total amount of natural oils by 5-10% and adding the same amount of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride initially. You can then adjust the amount based on the desired texture.

This modification will help your eye serum feel lighter and absorb better on the skin surface.
