Description
Description
Look at where water sits on the ingredient list — twenty-fourth of thirty-three. Twenty-three things come before it, starting with organic aloe leaf juice and organic jojoba oil. Most eye creams open with Aqua and work down from there.
Escin, from organic horse chestnut, is the ingredient people reach for when eyes look tired. Around it sit ceramide-type lipids for the barrier, hyaluronic acid in two weights, organic shea butter and organic black tea leaf extract. Light enough for oily skin, rich enough for mature skin. 100% natural origin, 18% organic, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert.
How to use
How to use
A grain of rice per eye is genuinely enough. Use your ring finger — it presses more lightly than the others — and tap it along the orbital bone, the ridge you can feel under your eye. Not on the lid, not into the lash line.
Morning and evening, or whichever you'll remember. Give it a minute before concealer goes on. Avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves.
Who is it for?
Who is it for?
Tired-looking eyes, fine lines, and skin around the eyes that has lost some firmness. The texture is light enough to suit oily skin while still carrying organic shea butter, which is a difficult balance in an eye product.
Two things to know before you buy. It contains shea butter and horse chestnut seed extract, so it isn't labelled nut free. And it's fragranced, with limonene, linalool, coumarin and geraniol declared on the INCI — the eye area is the most reactive skin on your face, so patch test for 24 hours first.

Ingredients / INCI
How to use it
Morning and evening, or whichever one you'll actually stick to.
A grain of rice per eye
Really. More than that has nowhere to go and ends up migrating into your eye overnight.
Ring finger, along the bone
Tap it gently along the orbital ridge you can feel under your eye. Never drag the skin, and stay off the lid.
Wait before concealer
A minute is plenty. Make-up applied onto cream that hasn't settled is what makes it crease.

What's inside and why it's there
Thirty-three ingredients, 100% of natural origin and 18% organic, certified COSMOS Natural by Ecocert. Organic jojoba, shea butter and black tea leaf extract, with vitamin E. Gluten free and vegan, no GMO ingredients, recyclable packaging. Contains shea butter and horse chestnut, so it is not labelled nut free.
Escin + Organic Horse Chestnut
Escin is the compound horse chestnut is known for, and both are on this list. It's long been the ingredient of choice in eye products aimed at the look of puffiness and fatigue.
Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline
Placed above the shea butter and every oil that follows it. An amino-acid derivative used in firming formulas, and not something you find in an ordinary eye cream.
Glycosphingolipids + Glycolipids
Ceramide-type lipids, alongside Sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid in two weights. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your face and loses water fastest — this is the part that slows that down.
Questions people ask before buying
A grain of rice per eye. Eye cream used generously doesn't work better — it has nowhere to absorb and tends to travel into the eye while you sleep, which is where the morning puffiness people blame on the cream usually comes from.
Along the orbital bone — the ridge you can feel under your eye — and out towards the temple. Not on the eyelid and not along the lash line. Whatever you apply on the bone migrates upward on its own.
Escin from horse chestnut is here for exactly that, and it's the ingredient most associated with the look of tired, puffy eyes. Worth being realistic though — morning puffiness often comes down to sleep, salt or allergies, and no cream fixes those.
Yes, once it's settled — give it a minute. Concealer applied straight onto wet cream is the usual reason it creases by mid-morning.
It contains glycosphingolipids and glycolipids, which are ceramide-type lipids — the same family, doing the same barrier job. You'll find both named on the INCI on this page.
No — and this one is different from the rest of our range in that respect. It contains organic shea butter and horse chestnut seed extract, so it isn't labelled nut free. If you have a tree nut allergy, take the ingredient list to your doctor before using it.
No. It has a soft cotton and floral scent, with limonene, linalool, coumarin and geraniol declared on the INCI. The skin around the eyes reacts more easily than anywhere else on the face, so patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours before you use it there.
It's fine twice a day. If you only manage one, evening tends to be the more useful of the two — though the honest answer is that the one you remember beats the one you don't.
No. Phthalates are synthetic raw materials, and the fragrance compositions used in our products are made from natural raw materials instead.
