Azulene: This active ingredient, derived from the German chamomile flower, gives the product its characteristic azure-blue color. It is renowned as an anti-inflammatory and soothing agent with the ability to neutralize skin irritants. Excellent for sensitive skin.
Cornflower leaf extract: The active constituents include nicotinic and oleanolic acid. These are particularly beneficial in relation to dilating constricted blood vessels - a major contributing factor in the formation of dark, under-eye circles.
Kigelia africana extract: The West African kigelia tree yields a fruit that contains flavonoids and phytosterol saponosides recognized for their skin firming abilities.
Eucalyptus and peppermint: These herbs contain phyto-chemicals and menthol which stimulate blood circulation to help diminish dark circles while adding a fresh, 'wake-up' sensation to the eye area.
Beta-(1,3)-glucan: This natural polysaccharide is found in oats, yeast and mushrooms. It reduces skin irritation and erythema as well as stimulating collagen biosynthesis. This helps promote visco-elastic properties which assist in the 'snap-back' of skin stretched by swelling.
Glycosaminoglycans: These natural sugars found in honey, malt, grapes and corn produce the polymer film responsible for the immediate toning effect.
Witch hazel, cucumber and tannins: These herbal ingredients contain natural astringents which help tighten and tone tired, stressed skin.
