IO Anti-Aging Face Active Liquid

Most appearance-focused cosmetic products focus on the face, but customers also notice changes on the arms, neck, hands and around the eyes. IO appearance-focused cosmetic Face Active Liquid is a water-soluble active listed for appearance-focused cosmetic products for both face and body, plus eye-area care.

Product data

Water-soluble. Applications from the card: appearance-focused cosmetic products for the face and body; care products for the skin around the eyes. For this ingredient, the supplier CoA of each lot confirms the exact INCI, composition and recommended level.

Face, body and eyes

An active that suits all three areas lets a brand build a complete appearance-focused cosmetic line with a shared hero ingredient. Face serums and creams carry higher-value positioning, body lotions extend the routine and eye products address the area customers watch most closely.

Product formats

Face serum

A light serum for daily use.

Firming face cream

A day or night cream for mature skin.

Eye cream

A rich, fragrance-free cream for the eye contour.

Formulating guidance

Add the active during cool-down into the water phase and check the finished pH. Pair it with palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 for firmness, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid for plumping hydration and caffeine in eye products. Ingredients that pair well with this ingredient are collected under actives.

Claims

Use cosmetic wording such as smoother, firmer-looking, younger-looking skin. Support numbers with tests on the finished product.

Who the products are for

Customers in their forties and older who want consistent care from face to body.

Body appearance-focused cosmetic

Body skin has fewer oil glands in some areas and dries quickly. Firming body lotions should absorb fast and leave no residue under clothing.

Hands

Hands show age early because they are exposed to sun and frequent washing. An appearance-focused cosmetic hand cream with sunscreen is a strong add-on product.

Eye-area safety

Keep eye products fragrance-free and test around the eyes with contact lens wearers.

Testing

Run stability at room temperature, 40 °C and under light, checking pH, viscosity and appearance.

Packaging

Airless pumps for creams, metal-tip tubes for eye creams, large pumps for body lotions.

Batch quality

Keep the CoA for each lot and store retained samples.

Range planning

A face serum, an eye cream and a body lotion form a head-to-toe appearance-focused cosmetic line.

Routine guidance

Recommend the face serum morning and evening, followed by the firming cream. In the morning, finish with sunscreen; at night, add the eye cream with a gentle tapping motion. The body lotion goes on after the shower. Explain that visible changes come with regular use over several weeks, which sets fair expectations and supports good reviews.

Neck and décolleté

The body lotion or face cream can be extended to the neck and chest, an area that ages visibly and is often forgotten.

Preservation

Confirm the preservative system with a challenge test on each finished product.

Storage

Store the container closed in a cool place away from light.
