Eye contour complex aqueous blend with botanical extracts and protein hydrolysate for serum and gel systems
This eye contour complex is an aqueous blend built on purified water and glycerin, combined with extracts of horse chestnut, cornflower, cowberry leaf and bearberry, along with green pea protein hydrolysate and carrot seed–derived components. It is designed as a ready-to-use water-phase ingredient for formulations where uniform distribution and stability of a multi-component system are required. It is incorporated into serums, gel formats, light emulsions and cooling fluids used in cosmetic, spa and professional development contexts.
From a formulation engineering viewpoint, the complex functions as a pre-assembled aqueous matrix where plant extracts and protein fractions are aligned for compatibility. Glycerin establishes the hydrophilic base that supports dispersion, while the botanical fractions contribute to the internal structure governing system behavior. The protein hydrolysate assists with integration into the aqueous phase, helping the formulation remain consistent during mixing and storage.
In practical use, the complex is introduced into eye-focused serums, gel concentrates, fluid lotions and low-density creams. It can also be used in broader facial formulations that require controlled distribution within delicate product structures. In spa-oriented systems, it is included in aqueous treatment blends. In laboratory formulation work, it is selected to build repeatable systems with stable performance.
Functionally, the complex disperses evenly throughout the aqueous phase, forming a coherent environment for other ingredients. It does not directly create viscosity but supports system stability and compatibility. Its pre-balanced composition reduces the need for extensive additional adjustment and allows predictable behavior across different formulation types.
In formulation practice, the complex is added after the base aqueous or gel structure has been prepared. It is compatible with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, panthenol, beta glucan and mild preservation systems. For optimal performance, it is incorporated during the cooling stage to maintain the integrity of its botanical and protein components.
Usage level is defined by technical guidance and optimized by the formulator according to product design and system requirements.
Example formulation: Cooling gel system for eye contour applications
Purified water 60 ml
Eye contour complex 14 g
Glycerin 5 g
Xanthan gum 0.7 g
Hyaluronic acid solution 1% 10 ml
Panthenol 3 g
Beta glucan 2 g
Preservative 1 g
pH adjuster 4 g
Process: xanthan gum is dispersed in water to form a gel base. Glycerin and beta glucan are incorporated to stabilize the structure. Hyaluronic acid solution and panthenol are added. After cooling, the complex is introduced with gentle mixing. Preservative is added and pH is adjusted. The system is mixed until uniform and filled.
Example formulation: Lightweight emulsion for delicate area formulations
Purified water 56 ml
Eye contour complex 13 g
Glycerin 4 g
Grape seed oil 10 g
Olivem 1000 emulsifier 6 g
Cetyl alcohol 3 g
Panthenol 2 g
Preservative 1 g
Hyaluronic acid solution 1% 5 ml
Process: oil and water phases are prepared separately and heated. After combining, the mixture is emulsified to a uniform structure. During cooling, the complex, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and preservative are incorporated. The formulation is mixed until stable and filled.
The eye contour complex is used in formulations where botanical extracts and protein-derived components need to be integrated into a stable aqueous system. It supports uniform distribution, improves formulation consistency and is compatible with a wide range of formulation ingredients.
