The Ultimate Lipophilic Wonder for Skincare & Makeup
Signs of fatigue have become widespread cosmetic concerns, leading brands to venture into the hybrid beauty category. Beyond eye contour creams, consumers now expect makeup solutions like concealers to feature caring actives, reflecting the skinification of makeup trend. However, dark circles and eye bags, despite sharing similar locations, stem from various underlying factors, posing challenges for cosmetic intervention.
Enter Eyeglorius™, Gattefossé's latest bioactive innovation, crafted to enhance the eyes comprehensively. Harnessing expertise across multiple domains, this distinctive lipophilic ingredient targets physiological pathways—including microcirculation, vascular permeability, oxidation, and inflammation—with precision, effectively combating signs of fatigue. Its versatility extends seamlessly to skincare and makeup formulations, aligning perfectly with the expectations of both formulators and consumers alike.
Complementary Efficacies
Eyeglorius™ stands out for its remarkable abilities to secure microcirculation and reinforce the endothelial barrier function. Tested on a model of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells stressed with TNF-α, the active led to a significant reduction in vascular permeability, responsible for the appearance of edema and dark circles.
Furthermore, Eyeglorius™ promotes the degradation of hemoglobin and prevents oxidation, which are key contributors to under-eye hyperpigmentation.
Clinical Data Vs Placebo
Two double-blind clinical studies confirm Eyeglorius™ efficiency in reducing signs of fatigue. Tested against a placebo, it achieves a significant reduction of eye bags volume combined with a lighter appearance and smaller surface for dark circles. Eyes are embellished, sparkling, and re-energized.
Responsible Upcycling & Extraction
Gattefosse champions sustainability by repurposing sea buckthorn leaves, abundant in triterpenoid compounds like ursolic, maslinic, and oleanolic acids. Sourced from a Canadian family-owned orchard, the harvest undergoes a transformation process: the berries find use in juices, sorbets, or jams, while Gattefossé reclaims the unused leaves through upcycling to create our innovative bioactive ingredient. This eco-conscious approach reflects our dedication to environmental stewardship. Employing precise extraction techniques, we optimize the triterpenoid acids' content, ensuring quality, security, and energy efficiency. The resulting vegetable matter is then solubilized in a biobased oily compound, ensuring lipophilicity, stability, and optimal formulation for our skincare solutions.
