    Is it known to anyone if ammonium polyacrylate and sodium polyacrylate are irritating to the eye area?

    Irritating or not, I would use something known to be more gentle. Eyes are very precious.
    If you want a viscosifier, a water soluble cellulose (hydroxypropylcellulose) would be more suitable in case of contact with the eye mucosa.

    Do you know of any dispersions of Tio2/Zinc Oxide which you would recommend for an oil in water eye primer -SPF product? Preferably absent of Butlyene Glycol and Acrylates?

    Eye cosmetics are not my areas of expertise.

    I replied to your thread for you to bear in mind the delicacy of the tissues in the eye area.
