Using Hyaluronic Acid Products Around the Eyes

Regarding your question about using Double Hyaluronic Gel mixed with other substances under the eyes, it is generally not recommended.

This is because the Double Hyaluronic Gel contains Phenoxyethanol at a concentration of 1.00%. For products intended for the delicate eye area, the recommended maximum usage rate for Phenoxyethanol is typically lower, around 0.5%, to minimize the risk of irritation, especially for sensitive skin.

As suggested by the staff, a simple and suitable alternative for an eye area product can be made using Double Hyaluron Liquid. This liquid form is easier to work with for simple formulations.

Here is a basic guideline for creating an eye-safe hyaluronic acid formulation:

• Double Hyaluron Liquid: 5-10%
• Water: 90-95%
• Preservative suitable for the eye area: Choose a preservative that is safe and recommended for use around the eyes.

Examples of gentle preservatives suitable for eye area products include Mild Preserved Eco™ or Mild Preserved SC10™, which contain ingredients like Ethylhexylglycerin and Caprylyl Glycol and are often not classified as traditional preservatives by regulatory standards, making them a gentler option.

By creating a formulation specifically for the eye area with appropriate ingredient concentrations and a suitable preservative, you can ensure the product is both effective and gentle for this sensitive skin.
