IO Firming-Look Active Powder

IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid in brief

IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid is a powder that dissolves in water. The card lists appearance-focused cosmetic cosmetics, lifting products, body-contouring cosmetics, products for tired-looking legs and under-eye care. These all share a goal: skin that looks firmer, smoother and more toned. The CoA for each lot confirms the INCI and level.

Firming and lifting as a category

Firming-look products are a cornerstone of appearance-focused cosmetic skin care. Shoppers want skin that looks tighter, a more defined jawline, smoother under-eye areas and toned-looking legs. A single active that fits face, eye and body products lets a brand build a full firming line.

Product formats

Lifting serums

A serum with IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid, peptides and hyaluronic acid is the hero of a firming line.

Under-eye care

Eye gels and creams aim at a smoother, fresher look under the eyes. A cooling applicator adds to the experience.

Body contouring

Body gels and creams aim at a smoother, toned look on thighs, hips and arms.

Tired-looking legs

Cooling leg gels with menthol and IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid make legs feel light and look refreshed after a long day.

Processing

Dissolve the powder in part of the water phase and add it at cool-down. Stir until clear.

Partners

Caffeine, peptides and Menthol Liquid suit leg and body gels. Instant lifting Complex adds a quick tightening feel to eye products. Find more in our actives catalog.

Original recipe: refreshing leg gel, 100 g

Distilled water 85.00 g, glycerin 4.00 g, IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid 1.00 g, caffeine 1.00 g, carbomer 0.60 g, menthol liquid 0.50 g, ethanol 5.00 g, triethanolamine 0.60 g, preservative 1.00 g, panthenol 1.30 g. Disperse carbomer in water with glycerin, dissolve caffeine and IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid in warm water, mix menthol with ethanol, combine and neutralize.

Building a firming line

Because IO Tightening-Feel Active Liquid fits face, eye and body products, a brand can use one active across a whole firming line. Start with the lifting serum as the hero, then add an eye gel and a body gel. Matching silver or rose-gold packaging connects the products. Explain on the product page that results build with regular use over several weeks, and suggest morning and evening application.

Under-eye tips

Under-eye skin is thin and sensitive. Keep the eye gel simple, fragrance-free and light. A metal roller tip adds a cooling feel that users enjoy in the morning. Test comfort around the eyes with a panel.

Leg care routines

People who stand or sit all day often feel heavy legs by evening. A cooling gel massaged upward from the ankles feels refreshing. Suggest using it in the evening and after sport. Summer is the peak season for leg gels.

Body contouring tips

Body contouring products work best with regular massage. Suggest applying the gel with circular movements on thighs and hips, and pair it with a dry-brushing routine for a complete ritual.

Fragrance

Fresh, cooling scents suit leg gels, while eye products should stay fragrance-free. Test any fragrance with the active.

Lot records

Keep the CoA of each lot with the batch sheet and note the dissolving temperature used.

Storage

Store closed in a dry place. Close the container after use.
