 Innovation, Botanicals, and Banana Powder

"When we were re-developing this iconic eye cream, we wanted to make sure we were pushing on vitamin C innovation,” says Riva Barak, VP of Product Development. “We developed a triple vitamin C complex paired with gold, to increase its efficacy. The formula also includes antioxidant-rich botanicals—bioflavanoids and Hardy Orange Extract—as well as our signature banana powder-inspired pigments.”

The Triple Vitamin C Complex 

  • Gold Complexed Vitamin C: A highly stable water-soluble complex featuring pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), glutathione, and real gold. This combination enhances brightness and elasticity. 

  • 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: A potent Vitamin C derivative with superior stability and antioxidant capacity, helping to defend against environmental stressors like pollution. 

  • Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate: An extremely stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that works synergistically with other types to maximize results. 

Botanical Defense & Instant Illumination 

  • Bioflavonoids: Plant-based antioxidants from grapefruit and mandarin that neutralize free radicals. 

  • Hardy Orange Extract: An antioxidant-rich botanical that thrives in harsh environments and helps reduce the look of dark spots. 

  • Banana Powder-Inspired Pigments: Naturally derived light-reflecting minerals that instantly illuminate the complexion and revive tired undereyes.
