Eye Cream Key Points of Product Development Technology

1. Understand the mechanism of skin aging:
Understand the causes and processes of skin aging, such as the loss of collagen and elastic fibers, free radical damage, etc., so as to select ingredients in a targeted manner.
Natural aging: With age, the collagen and elastic fibers in the skin gradually decrease, causing the skin to lose elasticity and firmness.
Photoaging: Long-term exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet rays can damage skin cells and accelerate skin aging.
Lifestyle: Bad living habits, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc., can affect the metabolism of the skin and cause skin aging.
Environmental factors: Environmental factors such as dryness, coldness, and pollution can irritate the skin and cause skin aging.
Eye muscle movement: Frequent movement of eye muscles, such as blinking and frowning, can cause wrinkles on the eye skin.

2. Selection of active ingredients
you can choose bosin, rhamnose, hyaluronic acid, peptides, fruit acids, etc.; for moisturizing, you can choose low molecular weight polyols with quadruple sodium hyaluronate; antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and reduce their damage to the skin. Such as vitamin C, vitamin E, proanthocyanidins, astaxanthin, etc.

3. Precautions for raw material selection
Try to use highly permeable oils and fats, and you can also add keratin softeners and penetration enhancers to enhance the skin's absorption of anti-wrinkle ingredients, but sensitive skin should be careful. Finally, antioxidants, preservatives, pigments and fragrances can be used as appropriate.

4. Skin penetration
Ensure that the active ingredients can effectively penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and play a role. Methods to improve the percutaneous penetration of active ingredients Due to the barrier effect of the stratum corneum of the skin, most active ingredients cannot penetrate or penetrate the skin in very low amounts.

In order to increase the permeability and total amount of active ingredients, the most commonly used penetration-promoting methods in cosmetics are: penetration enhancers, microemulsions, liposomes, microcapsules, and cyclodextrins

6. Safety and mildness
The formula should avoid using irritating ingredients to ensure that the product is mild to the skin and does not cause allergies or discomfort.

7. Stability
Ensure the stability of the formula during storage and use to avoid decomposition or failure of ingredients.

8. Synergy
Consider the synergy between different ingredients to enhance the anti-wrinkle effect.

9. User needs and preferences
Adjust the texture, fragrance, etc. of the formula according to the age, skin type and needs of the target user to improve the product experience.

10. Efficacy and toxicology testing
Efficacy and toxicology testing are conducted to verify the anti-wrinkle effect and safety of the formula.

6 Key Considerations Before Customizing an Eye Cream

1. Eye Cream Price
Clarify the hard costs involved in customization—raw material costs, production process costs, and packaging costs to avoid formula adjustments due to cost overruns later.

2. Eye Cream Ingredients
Efficacy Ingredient Matching: Select ingredients based on core needs—peptides/retinol derivatives for wrinkle reduction, caffeine/niacinamide for dark circle reduction, hyaluronic acid/squalane for moisturizing, and avoid irritating ingredients (alcohol, fragrance) for sensitive skin, adding panthenol/ceramides.

Ingredient Concentration Control: Choose low concentrations (e.g., 0.1% retinol derivative) for early signs of aging, increase concentrations for mature skin (e.g., 0.3% retinol derivative), and use gentle ingredients (e.g., vitamin C derivatives instead of pure vitamin C) for sensitive skin. C), to avoid affecting the effect or causing irritation due to improper concentration.

3. Eye Cream Types
Texture Type: Dry skin/Autumn/Winter: Cream (strong moisturizing); Oily skin/Spring/Summer: Gel (refreshing and non-greasy); Use before makeup: Egg white texture (easily absorbed and doesn't pill);

Function Type: Subdivided by scenario—Morning cream focuses on "reducing puffiness + brightening" (contains caffeine/vitamin C); Night cream focuses on "repairing + anti-wrinkle" (contains retinol/pro-Xylane); Emergency cream focuses on "rapid soothing" (contains chamomile/panthenol), meeting different usage needs.

4. Eye Cream Product Packaging
Practical Design: Pump dispenser (hygienic for controlled dispensing, suitable for creams), dropper (precise dispensing, suitable for serums), syringe-like bottle (dedicated to under-eye area, avoids waste); avoid wide-mouth bottles (easily contaminated and oxidized);

Branding Design: Bottle material (glass looks high-end, PET is lightweight and drop-resistant), printed content (brand logo, ingredient list, instructions for use), color scheme (high-end lines use minimalist black/white, younger lines use fresh colors), reinforcing brand memorability.

5. Transportation and Storage
Transportation Protection: Glass bottles require foam cushioning to prevent breakage during transport; active ingredients (such as retinol and vitamin C) require light-proof packaging to prevent oxidation and degradation during transport.
Transportation Method Selection: Choose the method based on order volume, delivery time requirements, and destination.

Sea Freight: Suitable for large orders (such as full container loads) and non-urgent orders; low cost but long delivery time (15-45 days). 

Air Freight: Suitable for small-batch trial orders, urgent replenishment, or high-value products; fast delivery time (3-7 days), but higher cost. Simplified packaging (such as reducing cushioning materials) is required to control weight, while ensuring that active ingredient packaging is light-proof and pressure-resistant.

Land Freight: Suitable for domestic or neighboring country orders (such as short-distance cross-border e-commerce delivery); medium delivery time (1-5 days).

6. After Sales Service
Sample Testing: Small samples are provided before customization to test texture, feel, and irritation (e.g., sensitive skin patch testing), and the formula is adjusted based on feedback;

After-Sales Support: Provides usage guidance (e.g., "Retinol products require tolerance building"), offers return and exchange services for allergy issues, collects user feedback for subsequent formula optimization, and improves customer satisfaction. 

Considerations When Buying Eye Cream

Eye cream is a must-have for basic skin care around the eyes. It can provide daily moisturizing, protection and repair for the delicate skin around the eyes and is the first line of defense against eye problems. However, the skin around the eyes has a special structure, and the texture and efficacy of eye creams vary greatly. Choosing the wrong product not only makes it difficult to achieve the desired care effect but may also cause problems such as milia and redness. Whether it is ordinary consumers choosing personal products or beauty brands cooperating with OEM/ODM, it is necessary to have clear and scientific purchasing standards.

Eye Condition
The core of choosing eye cream is to select according to your needs, which is consistent with the logic of choosing eye serum based on your condition. If only basic moisturizing is needed around the eyes, a moisturizing eye cream containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin can meet the requirements and prevent the formation of milia due to excessive nutrition. If there are early signs of aging such as dry lines and sagging around the eyes, one should choose an anti-aging eye cream containing retinol and polypeptides to help firm the skin and reduce fine lines. If there is obvious dullness around the eyes or dark circles, you can use a brightening eye cream containing vitamin C derivatives and niacinamide to improve pigmentation.

Efficacy Matching
Different skin types have different needs. Oily skin is suitable for light-textured gel-type eye cream, which is refreshing and not sticky. People with dry skin should choose cream or cream-like eye cream, which offer better moisturizing effects. Combination skin types can be adjusted according to the seasons. Use gel types in summer and switch to cream types in winter. As a professional OEM/ODM manufacturer, Yunmei Cosmetics can precisely match different functions and skin type requirements to customize diversified eye cream formulas.
Core Component
The skin around the eyes is thin and tender and close to the eyeball. The safety of the ingredients of eye cream must be given top priority. High-quality eye creams are centered around mild functional ingredients, such as ceramides for barrier repair and panthenol for soothing and stabilizing, combined with plant extracts like centella asiatica and chamomile to reduce irritation. When making a purchase, consumers should avoid products containing mineral oil, alcohol and artificial fragrances. Mineral oil can easily clog pores and cause milia, while alcohol and fragrances may irritate the area around the eyes, leading to redness and stinging.

Security Guarantee
Yunmei Cosmetics strictly adheres to international cosmetic safety standards. All raw materials for eye creams have undergone heavy metal testing and eye skin tolerance tests, eliminating harmful additives from the source. For special groups such as pregnant women and those with sensitive skin, we can customize mild formulas free of fragrances and preservatives to build a safe and reliable product system for cooperative brands.

Texture
The texture of eye cream directly affects the usage experience and absorption effect, and it is an important reference for selection. The gel-like eye cream has a high water content, a refreshing texture, and is absorbed quickly. It is suitable for young skin or summer use, and it is less likely to leave mud when applied later. The cream texture eye cream lies between gel and cream, with a balanced moisturizing and absorbency, making it suitable for daily use by most skin types. This cream-like eye cream has a high oil content, a high nutrient density, and strong moisturizing and hydrating power. It is suitable for dry skin or autumn and winter seasons and can provide long-lasting nourishment for the eye area.

User Experience
Yunmei Cosmetics possesses mature texture control technology and can precisely customize the viscosity, skin feel and absorption speed of eye creams according to brand requirements. Whether it is the popular "airiness" eye cream or the classic nourishing eye cream, they can all achieve stable mass production, taking into account both the usage experience and the care effect.

Usage Scenarios
The packaging design of eye cream should take into account practicality, freshness preservation and scene adaptability. Vacuum compression bottles or syringe bottles can effectively isolate air and bacteria, preventing the oxidation and deterioration of ingredients. They are especially suitable for eye creams containing easily inactive ingredients such as retinol. The packaging with a built-in massage head is not only convenient to use but also helps promote the circulation around the eyes and enhance the care effect. Small-capacity portable packs are suitable for business trips, travels and other outdoor scenarios.

Packaging Design
For brand owners, packaging is the key point of the product. Yunmei Cosmetics offers comprehensive packaging customization services, from material selection, shape design to logo printing, all of which can be exclusively created according to the brand positioning. Support small-batch trial production and large-scale production to help brands respond quickly to market demands and build differentiated competitiveness.

Price
The price of eye cream is influenced by factors such as ingredients, texture and manufacturing process. When purchasing, it is necessary to rationally assess the cost performance and avoid blindly pursuing high prices. The affordable eye cream is suitable for basic moisturizing of young skin and can be used for long-term daily care. Mid-to-high-end eye creams have more advantages in terms of the purity of core ingredients and repair technology, and are suitable for people who need to specifically improve problems around the eyes.

As a source OEM/ODM manufacturer, Yunmei Cosmetics reduces costs by centrally purchasing high-quality raw materials and optimizing production processes, providing cost-effective production solutions for cooperative brands. Whether it is the affordable series targeting the mass market or the luxury care series positioned at the high end, both can control costs while ensuring quality, helping the products stand out in the market competition.
