Ajurana EyeContour: Your Advanced Solution for Radiant, Youthful Eyes

Unveil the secret to revitalized eyes with Ajurana EyeContour, a cutting-edge liposomal active ingredient meticulously developed in France. This amber-colored (color may vary by batch) oily liquid or semi-liquid liposomal concentrate is specifically designed for the delicate eye area. Harnessing the natural power of Arjuna tree bark flavonoids delivered through advanced liposomal technology, Ajurana EyeContour is your ultimate weapon against puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue, promising stronger capillaries, improved elasticity, and a visibly rejuvenated look.

Description and Key Features

Ajurana EyeContour is a highly specialized active ingredient that redefines eye care. Its unique liposomal form (INCI: Oleic acid, Terminalia Arjuna (arjuna) extract, lecithin) significantly enhances the penetration of beneficial compounds into the skin, ensuring maximum efficacy. The extract is derived from the Terminalia Arjuna tree, renowned in traditional medicine for its circulatory benefits.

Key features and benefits include:

• Capillary Strengthening and Spider Vein Reduction: Potently works to reinforce capillary walls, reducing the appearance of visible spider veins and improving overall microcirculation around the eyes.
• Puffiness and Fluid Retention Reduction: Effectively diminishes under-eye bags and swelling by addressing fluid stagnation in tissues.
• Enhanced Skin Tone and Elasticity: Boosts the firmness and resilience of the delicate eyelid skin, contributing to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Natural Flavonoids: Rich in natural flavonoids from Arjuna bark, providing powerful antioxidant and circulatory benefits.
• Liposomal Delivery System: Encapsulation in liposomes dramatically improves the absorption and targeted delivery of the active components, ensuring deeper and more effective action.
• Gentle and Safe: Formulated to be mild and well-tolerated by sensitive skin, making it suitable for daily and professional use.
• Fat-Soluble: Easily disperses in oils, emulsions, and cream/gel bases. For water-based formulas, it requires emulsification or prior solubilization to ensure proper integration.
• Amber Color: The natural amber hue of the extract may subtly influence the final color of your product, adding to its natural appeal.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Cosmetics

Ajurana EyeContour is an indispensable active ingredient for formulators aiming to create high-performance products specifically targeting the complex needs of the eye contour area. Its fat-soluble nature and liposomal delivery make it compatible with a broad range of cosmetic bases:

• Eye Serums and Creams:
  • Anti-Puffiness and Dark Circle Formulas: Core application for reducing the visible signs of fatigue, combating fluid retention, and lightening dark circles. The liposomal form ensures deep penetration for optimal results.
  • Anti-Aging Eye Treatments: Excellent for improving skin tone, elasticity, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, contributing to a more youthful look.
• Eye Fluids and Rollerballs:
  • Lightweight Hydration and Refreshment: Ideal for refreshing and cooling eye fluids that deliver active ingredients with a non-greasy feel, perfect for on-the-go application.
  • Targeted Treatment: Rollerball applicators enhance the soothing effect and ensure precise delivery of the active.
• Gels and Serums for Puffiness:
  • Fast-Acting Relief: Formulate invigorating gels or serums that quickly absorb to reduce swelling and provide an immediate refreshing sensation.
• Anti-Couperose Products:
  • Capillary Support: Its capillary-strengthening properties make it valuable in formulations designed to reduce the appearance of redness and fragile blood vessels, not only around the eyes but potentially in other areas prone to couperose.
• Eye Patches:
  • Intensive Treatments: Integrate into pre-soaked eye patches for an intensive boost of depuffing, firming, and anti-dark circle benefits. The short contact time of patches benefits from the enhanced penetration of liposomal actives.
• Men's Eye Care Cosmetics:
  • Targeted Solutions for Men: Address common concerns like puffiness and signs of fatigue in male grooming routines with effective, non-greasy eye products.

Recommended Dosages:

• 1–5% in creams and serums
• 1–3% in light gels and fluids
• 1–2% in patches and masks
• Up to 5% in anti-aging eye cosmetics

Important Considerations:

• Avoid Eye Contact: While designed for the eye area, direct contact with the inner eye should be avoided.
• Do Not Exceed Dosage: Adhere strictly to the recommended dosage. Exceeding the suggested concentration may lead to counterproductive effects or irritation.
• Solubility: As it is fat-soluble, it must be incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions or solubilized in a suitable solvent before adding to aqueous formulations. Add during the cool-down phase for best results if temperatures exceed 45°C.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Morning Dew" Anti-Puffiness Eye Serum

Create a lightweight, fast-absorbing serum designed to combat puffiness and signs of fatigue around the eyes, featuring Ajurana EyeContour.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Ensure all your equipment (beakers, stirring rods, serum bottles) is thoroughly sanitized using isopropyl alcohol and allowed to air dry completely.
2. Prepare Phase A: In a clean beaker, combine distilled water, glycerin, and propanediol 1,3. Stir gently until fully mixed.
3. Prepare Caffeine Solution: In a separate small container, dissolve caffeine anhydrous in a minimal amount of distilled water (part of the total distilled water from Phase A, if possible). Stir until fully dissolved.
4. Combine Phases & Actives: Add the caffeine solution and hyaluronic acid solution to Phase A. Stir well.
5. Add Ajurana EyeContour: As Ajurana EyeContour is oil-soluble, it should ideally be added to a very small amount of an oil if you are making an all-aqueous serum. However, in this formulation, the presence of humectants like glycerin and propanediol can sometimes help to disperse it. For optimal integration, you may pre-disperse the Ajurana EyeContour in a tiny amount (e.g., 0.5%) of a compatible light oil (like caprylic/capric triglycerides) before adding to the main water phase, then blend very well. Alternatively, given it's a liposomal concentrate, it might disperse directly into the cool water phase with strong stirring. Add the Ajurana EyeContour to your mixture and stir extensively for several minutes to ensure even distribution. An immersion blender or high-shear mixing might be beneficial here for a smooth final product.
6. Add Preservative: Add your chosen broad-spectrum preservative to the serum mixture. Stir well for at least 2-3 minutes to ensure even distribution throughout the liquid.
7. pH Adjustment (Recommended): Check the pH of your serum. For eye serums, a pH between 5.0 and 6.0 is generally ideal for skin compatibility and preservative efficacy. Adjust if necessary using a diluted solution of lactic acid (to lower pH) or baking soda solution (to raise pH), adding drop by drop and rechecking.
8. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished serum into a clean, sterile dark glass bottle with a dropper or roll-on applicator.

Recommendations for Use:

• Dilution: This recipe uses a 3% concentration of Ajurana EyeContour, which is effective for most users. You can adjust this within the recommended range (1-5%) based on desired intensity.
• Application Method: Apply a small amount of serum to the clean skin around the eyes, gently patting with your ring finger until absorbed. Avoid rubbing.
• Frequency: Use morning and night as part of your regular skincare routine.
• Storage: Store the finished serum in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. The amber color of Ajurana EyeContour may subtly influence the final product color.
• Integration: Since Ajurana EyeContour is fat-soluble and a liposomal concentrate, ensure thorough mixing. For very smooth, stable serums, consider adding a very low percentage of a co-solubilizer if direct dispersion proves challenging, or incorporate into the oil phase of an emulsion.
• Safety First: Always avoid direct contact with the inner eye. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
• Patch Test: Before full application, always perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin to check for any sensitivities or reactions.
