  Oil in Water Eye Primer

  Posted by ebo51m2003 on October 18, 2016 at 3:10 pm

  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.
