Why opt for preservative-free formulas for the eye area?
Discover the potential side effects on the eye contour caused by products with preservatives, and why opting for formulas that ensure high tolerance on sensitive skin is important.
The specificity of the eye contour
The eye contour is one of the most delicate areas of our face. The skin there is thinner and more sensitive, making it prone to issues such as wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. For this reason, it is crucial to choose products specifically formulated for this area.
Understanding the impact of preservatives on the skin
What is a preservative and why is it used?
Preservatives are substances added to skincare products to extend their shelf life by preventing the growth of bacteria and mold. However, these substances can have side effects on the skin.
Common side effects
Preservatives can cause irritation, redness, and allergic reactions in some people, particularly on the delicate skin of the eye contour. Opting for preservative-free products can help avoid these issues.

Alternatives for protecting delicate skin
Microbiological quality can be perfectly maintained without the use of preservatives, for better tolerance. But ensuring a cosmetic formula remains stable over time without preservatives is a major challenge. Clarté Laboratoire overcomes this absence through three innovations:
- Sterilization of the formula, which eliminates bacteria while preserving the quality of the active ingredients
- An airless valve bottle that protects the sterilized formula from oxidation, pollution, and bacteria by preventing any contact with outside air
- A patent that reinforces this protection with a ventilation system in the cap
Reduced risk of irritation and allergies
By eliminating preservatives, these formulas significantly reduce the risk of skin reactions on the thinnest area of the face.
