Formulation Deep Dive

PÜR’s Rescue C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Eye Cream is formulated as a high-performance, water-based emulsion designed to address periorbital aging and fatigue. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated blend of humectants including glycerin and propanediol combined with emollient esters like coco-caprylate/caprate and coconut alkanes to deliver deep hydration with a silky, non-greasy skin feel. The active performance is driven by a synergistic combination of aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C) for brightening, acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) to target expression lines, and caffeine to promote microcirculation and reduce puffiness, further supported by the adaptogenic properties of panax ginseng root extract. The formula is stabilized through a robust polymer network including sodium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate and xanthan gum, and is preserved using a clean-label system of potassium sorbate, ethylhexylglycerin, and caprylyl glycol to ensure the integrity of the botanical and peptide complex.
