How to Swap to Non-Toxic eye creams:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic eye creams:
What to know about eye cream
Eye cream is applied daily to some of the thinnest, most absorptive skin on your body — right next to your eyes. Because of this combination of frequent use, direct skin contact, and proximity to a sensitive area, what's in the formula matters more than most products.
- The skin around your eyes is much thinner than the rest of your face, so ingredients absorb more easily.
- Welpr focuses on clean formulations, fragrance choices, and preservative quality — not just marketing claims like "dermatologist tested."
Review what you already use
Check the eye cream you're currently using by scanning it with the Welpr Personal Care and Cosmetic Scanner. It will flag ingredients that don't meet Welpr's standards so you can see exactly where your product stands.
- Look at the ingredient list on the tube or jar — if you see "fragrance" or "parfum" without further detail, that's worth noting.
- If you use more than one eye product (day cream, night cream, eye serum), scan the one you use most often first.
Use your current eye cream more carefully
If you're not ready to switch yet, small adjustments can help. Using less product and applying it thoughtfully can reduce how much your skin absorbs.
- Use a small amount — about the size of a grain of rice per eye — since the area is tiny and absorbs quickly.
- Apply to the orbital bone around the eye rather than right up against your lash line to limit how much migrates into your eye.
Choose a cleaner eye cream
Look for eye creams with simple, functional formulations. The best options use naturally derived ingredients, skip synthetic fragrance entirely, and rely on gentle preservatives only when needed.
- Choose fragrance-free formulas — if a product is scented, make sure it uses essential oils or plant extracts rather than synthetic "fragrance" or "parfum."
