Plant‑based oils (like argan, jojoba, and other seed oils) bring a host of benefits, especially when combined with actives like HA, vitamins A and E.

What They Are
Botanical oils are rich in natural emollients, essential fatty acids (like linoleic and oleic acids), and minor yet powerful antioxidants. A recent review underscores their importance in delivering hydration, nourishment, and skin repair properties.
Top Benefits for Eye Area
Emollient & smoothing: Oils help soften the skin surface, filling micro‑gaps and smoothing texture.
Support actives absorption: They aid in delivering and stabilizing active ingredients deeper into the skin.
Antioxidant & inflammation control: Many botanical oils carry phenolic compounds, tocopherols, etc., which help counter oxidative stress and soothe irritation.
Barrier strengthening: They help reinforce the lipid barrier, reducing moisture loss and protecting susceptible skin around the eyes.
