Helia eye cream

KEY INGREDIENTS

HELIA is built around a carefully selected blend of peptides, lipids and botanical extracts.

1. PhytoCodine®: A powerful ingredient with anti-wrinkle properties. It is a plant-derived peptide complex. A clinical study on PhytoCodine® has shown that it can improve crow’s feet by 34.4% and expression lines around the mouth also by 34.4% (see here). Learn more about PhytoCodine® in the related article on our blog.

A 100% plant-based extract derived from the fruit of a wild Siberian cedar variety. It carries ECOCERT and COSMOS certifications, two internationally recognized standards that ensure the ingredient is produced under strict environmental and ethical sustainability criteria. Additionally, it fully complies with the requirements for the “natural” category.

Action: It contains sequences of natural peptides that mimic the function of matrikines: They stimulate the natural skin repair and boost the production of collagen and elastin.
In simple terms, it reprograms the skin’s structure, offering powerful anti-wrinkle benefits and visible improvement in skin texture.

2. SLM Eco®: (Natural Ceramides, Triglycerides & Phospholipids) A natural lipidic complex complex designed to mimic the natural structure of the stratum corneum (the skin’s outermost layer), offering protection and deep hydration, while promoting repair and structural balance. Additionally, it gives the HELIA eye cream its signature velvety texture.

It is an award-winning* active ingredient based on hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine derived from sunflower. In addition to its cosmetic properties, it holds ECOCERT and COSMOS APPROVED certifications, making it fully suitable for high-standard natural formulations. It meets the criteria of the ‘natural’ category.

Action: The combination of ceramides, triglycerides, and phospholipids in SLM Eco® is derived from sunflower processing. It has been designed to mimic the natural structure of the skin barrier, our skin’s primary line of defense. SLM Eco® protects and hydrates the skin barrier, while contributing to skin regeneration and overall stability.

3. Green Tea Extract: A botanical extract with antioxidant properties that supports a brighter and more revitalized appearance of the eye area.

Derived from green tea leaves. It is rich in catechins (polyphenols and flavonoids).

Action: It possesses astringent, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This valuable ingredient helps promote radiant and revitalized skin.

4. Blend of Non-Comedogenic Oils: Grapeseed oil, avocado oil and shea butter, offering nourishment and softness without weighing down the delicate skin around the eyes.
