I would like to request a review of my eye cream formula, which I developed to address dryness and wrinkles around the eyes. Please review the ingredients, percentages, and confirm if the mixing method I used is correct.

Answer

Review of Your Eye Cream Formula

Your formula for an eye cream targeting dryness and wrinkles is well-structured, and the mixing method you described is correct.

  • Ingredients: The formula includes several excellent ingredients for the eye area:
    • Matrixyl™ 3000 and Argireline® are peptides known for their anti-wrinkle effects.
    • Apple Stem Cell Extract is included for its potential regenerative properties.
    • Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) provide hydration, antioxidant benefits, and support the skin barrier, which is particularly helpful for dry skin around the eyes.
  • Concentrations: The percentages of the active ingredients are within typical and effective ranges for cosmetic use.
  • Mixing Method: Your method of combining water-soluble ingredients (Part A), oil-soluble/emulsifier (Part B), then mixing A into B and adding the preservative is a standard and correct way to create this type of emulsion.
  • Texture: With 83% water and 1% Light Cream Maker, the resulting product will likely have a very light, serum-like or fluid lotion texture. While your eye area is dry, this light texture can still be effective and pleasant to use. If you find it's not moisturizing enough, you could consider adding a small percentage of a light oil or emollient in Part B in future batches, but the current formula is perfectly fine as is.
  • Preservation: Ensure the preservative you use is suitable for the formula and used at the recommended concentration to maintain product safety and stability.

Overall, this looks like a promising formula for addressing your skin concerns around the eyes.
