Summary of Under-Eye Gel/Serum Formula Discussion

This conversation discusses a formulation for an under-eye product targeting dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, and bags.

Original Gel Formula & Goals

The user provided a gel formula with ingredients like Orange Peel Extract, Safe-B3™, GlucoBright™, Slim-Coffee™, DMAE, Panthenol, Argireline, Pep®-Coll, Pro Polymer™, PE-1 Aqua, 1,2-Hexanediol, and Phenoxyethanol SA, aiming to reduce under-eye dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, and bags caused by lack of sleep.

Staff Feedback on Original Formula & Ingredient Questions

• The original gel formula is mixable.
• Effectiveness: Results can be expected for dark circles in 1 week, wrinkles starting in about 1 month, and puffiness/swelling in 3-4 weeks. Fat bags may take 6-12 months.
• Regu-Age: The retail size is discontinued.
• Boswellic Acid: The correct usage rate is 0.5-2%, with 0.5% recommended for the eye area.

Revised Serum Formula & Staff Recommendations

The user revised the formula to a serum texture using Silky Serum Base instead of Pro Polymer™ due to stickiness concerns.

• Staff Recommendation: Reduce Silky Serum Base from 30% to 20% to avoid the formula being too liquid.
• Compatibility: Silky Serum Base should be compatible with PE-1 Aqua and fragrance. If slight separation occurs, shaking before use is sufficient.

Mixing Instructions for Fragrance

• Add fragrance at the final step after the formula is complete.
• Ensure the formula's temperature is below 40°C (or not exceeding 60°C if adding to a warm formula that thickens upon cooling) before adding fragrance to preserve its quality.
