Eye serum contract manufacturing

A cosmetics plant formulates, tests, fills, and notifies at BPOM a light serum for the eye area that is sold under your brand. The plant takes on the eye-area safety work, from preservative choice to microbiological testing, and the brand takes on the name, the positioning, and the price.

It targets the appearance of the three complaints people have about the eye area: dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. A cosmetic eye serum helps brighten the look of the under-eye, helps reduce the look of puffiness, and helps smooth the look of lines, with light hydration underneath. It does not treat the causes, and the label is worded accordingly.

An eye serum is a light, fast-absorbing gel or fluid that carries the actives and suits oily skin, young users, and the morning, often with a cooling applicator. An eye cream is a richer emulsion that adds emollients and barrier lipids and suits dry skin, mature skin, and the night. Many brands sell the two as a day and night pair.

Caffeine for the look of puffiness and tired eyes; signal peptides for the look of fine lines; niacinamide and licorice root extract for the look of dark circles; low-molecular hyaluronic acid and panthenol for hydration; and a mild light-reflecting pigment for an instant brightening effect. Retinol is used sparingly, if at all, because of the location.

Because the skin is thin, the area moves, and any product can migrate into the eye. The serum therefore leaves out fragrance, denatured alcohol, menthol, and strong acids, keeps the pH near neutral, uses a low-irritation preservative system, and avoids oils that creep. It is also made under stricter microbiological limits than a face serum.

It means the finished product was used by volunteers around the eyes under the supervision of an eye specialist, who checked for stinging, redness, tearing, and other reactions. The claim belongs to that exact formula, so the study is run after the formula is final. It is separate from the standard patch test.

It can help with their appearance, and the right active depends on the type. Brownish circles are pigment and respond to niacinamide and licorice; bluish circles are vascular and are addressed with caffeine and brightening pigment; shadow from hollowing is a volume issue that a cosmetic can only soften. The label says "helps reduce the look of dark circles".

Stability testing, a preservative challenge test, and microbiological testing to the stricter eye-area limits; a patch test for skin compatibility; and, if the claim is wanted, a study under an ophthalmologist. Claims about puffiness, dark circles, or fine lines each need their own instrumental or clinical study.

Eye-area cosmetics face stricter microbiological requirements than other leave-on products under the BPOM technical requirements (Regulation No. 23 of 2019 as amended by No. 17 of 2022), and the formula must be shown to be suitable for the eye area. Claims follow Regulation No. 3 of 2022 and must stay cosmetic.

It should be, and the eye serums we make are fragrance-free as standard. Fragrance is the most common cause of stinging and watering near the eye and adds nothing to the product's function. Brands that want a sensory signature use a cooling applicator or a soft tint instead.

An airless pump with a metal or ceramic applicator tip is the most popular, because it keeps the serum clean and the cool tip is part of the experience. A small dropper bottle suits a watery serum, and a slim tube with a tip suits a gel. Fills are small, usually 10 to 20 ml, so the dispenser must dose precisely.

Users from their early twenties who work long hours on screens and see puffiness and dark circles, and users in their thirties who notice the first lines at the outer corner. It is a lighter, lower-commitment entry than an eye cream, which makes it a common first eye product in a young brand's range.

ODM means we formulate from your brief, choosing the concern, the actives, the texture, and the applicator, and run the eye-area studies on that formula. OEM, or private label, means you start from an eye serum base we already produce and change the applicator, tint, or texture, which shortens the way to the first batch.

The concern you want to lead with (puffiness, dark circles, or lines), the age group and skin type, the texture you prefer (gel, fluid, cooling), whether you want an applicator tip, the claims you hope to print, a selling price range, and a rough quantity. A reference product helps us place the texture quickly.
