86 EYE AREA CARE
Ingredients focus: eye area care
n Richard Scott – Editor, Personal Care
We have seen in recent years some exciting new ingredients that aim to improve the appearance of the eye area. This delicate area of the body can transform a person’s look, as it is in such a prominent position. Added to this, the colouration changes around the eyes can be significant, leading to an entirely altered visual aspect. New ingredients are finding ways to
reduce the appearance of wrinkles, eye bags and dark circles, to restore a more youthful and homogenous look. Following is a selection of eye area care ingredients from leading suppliers.
Eye area care ingredients Eyedeline marine ingredient from Lipotec is a biotechnological active that has been developed to provide all the desirable benefits for the eye contour area. Vascular permeability is diminished, preventing the excessive accumulation of liquids around the eyes that is responsible for puffiness. In addition, the ingredient reduces the levels of bilirubin, the coloured by-product of leaked blood that contributes to dark

circles. On the other hand, the new active ingredient enhances the matrix support proteins elastin and collagen and protects from glycation, leading to a reinforcement of the skin to prevent sagginess and wrinkles. The in vivo efficacy of the ingredient has been proven by different studies, showing decreased colouration under the eyes, diminished volume of eyebags and a smoothing of crow’s feet wrinkles. It offers a complete care of eye contour that combats the three signs of tiredness and ageing typical of this delicate skin area: dark circles, eyebags and wrinkles. Biotechnologically-obtained, it reduces fluid extravasation while increases the degradation of bilirubin, promotes collagen I and elastin production and inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end products.
After 14 days of treatment the reduction of eyebags volume was notable, reaching value of -8.2% at the end of the treatment (28 days, 4%) leading to a younger looking skin.
Also from Lipotec, Eyeseryl peptide helps improve the overall appearance of the eye contour by minimising the presence of eyebags and dark circles and by reducing skin damage of this delicate area. The ability of the peptide to minimise the eyebags volume was recently assessed in a new study performed on male volunteers between 30-65 years old with prominent eyebags that applied a cream containing 1% Eyeseryl peptide solution on one eye contour and a placebo cream on the other, twice a day for 28 days. Under- eye puffiness volume significantly decreased up to 29.7% after 28 days, and the overall appearance of the eye contour visibly improved as observed through digital photographs.

As opposed to recombinant production by Gram(-) bacteria which may contain endotoxins, synthesis of proteins in plants allows to obtain safe plant-based biotechnological ingredients with proper
