Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado Oil Dupe (Exclusive 11/25)

ree

Formula;

Phase A


Phase B


Phase C


Directions; 

  • In a sanitized container combine all ingredients in phase A. 

    ree

  • Tare scale and place phase A on scale. Take note of how much phase A weighs. We will be heating it up and some of the water will evaporate. So we will need to replace that after heating.

  • In a separate sanitized container combine everything in phase B 

    ree

  • Cover both phase A & B with foil and place in a water bath. (A water bath is a pan filled with an inch or so of water. Place your pan on your Stove Top on medium heat.) 

  • Let both phase A & B heat to 70°C / 158°F. Make sure everything is melted in phase B.

  • Once they have reached their desired temperature first remove phase A from heat and weight it, replacing any water that evaporated. Then remove phase B from heat.

  • ree

    Pour phase A into phase B then immediately mix with an Immersion Blender. Don’t mix with immersion blender again if using Montanov 68 MB as it can mess up the lamellar structure. You can hand mix though.

    ree

  • Wait for eye cream to cool to 40°C / 104°F and then add in the phase C ingredients making sure to mix in-between each addition.  

  • I poured my eye cream into a pipping bag and pipped them into tiny Jars.

According to LotionCrafter: “ Liquid crystal emulsifiers create a lamellar or bilayered structure that mimics the lipid bilayers in our stratum corneum, which may help actives or lipids from our lotions penetrate our skin easier. They also help reduce transepidermal water loss as the lotions hold more water in contact with the skin for a longer period of time.”
