Beyond The Naked Eye: Eye Area Complex

Beyond The Naked Eye: Eye Area Complex

If there’s one place on the face that tells the whole story of our lives, it’s the eyes. Late nights, long days, stress, screens, sun exposure, and time itself all seem to take their toll on the eye area first. Yet most eye treatments are just repackaged face serums, sold in different sizes, and at different price points.  

After years of research developing our Elevated Actives collection, we've discovered new biotech and bioactive ingredients engineered specifically for the eye area — unlocking what was once out of sight.

Eye Area Complex is a next-generation eye treatment designed specifically for the thinnest, most delicate skin on the face, with an active stack of biotech and bioactive ingredients that usher in a new era of performance, purity, and potency.

What Is Eye Area Complex?

Eye Area Complex is an advanced daily treatment that works beneath the surface to hydrate, plump, and visibly revive the delicate eye area, addressing the look of skin fragility and fatigue.

By pairing breakthrough biotech with eye-specific botanicals, it creates an invisible, breathable veil on the surface while a layered stack of actives works below to support smoother, brighter, more resilient-looking skin.

Formulated for all skin types and conditions, including dehydrated, sensitive, blemish-prone, and reactive skin, Eye Area Complex was created to be a daily eye treatment that delivers instant gratification and long-term benefits: 

  • Hydrates, Plumps & Smooths: Instantly cushions the delicate eye area, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.

  • Brightens, Strengthens, Revives: Helps reduce the look of heaviness and dullness so the eye area appears more awake, luminous, and well-rested over time.

  • Offers Invisible Innovation & Visible Results: Forms a weightless, breathable barrier to retain moisture.

A New Line Of Sight: A New Way Of Seeing Skincare 

The true power of biotechnology lies beneath the surface, operating at microscopic, cellular, and molecular levels, beyond the naked eye.

Biotech uses natural processes to engineer purer, more potent actives. Bioactives isolate, optimize, and enhance plant intelligence to deliver more powerful results.

Together, they form the invisible architecture behind Eye Area Complex, a dual-stack approach where biotech ingredients support collagen, hydration, and renewal pathways, and bioactive botanicals help improve brightness, elasticity, and the look of heaviness and fatigue.

The Active Stack

The Biotech Stack
EGCG · Bioidentical Type III Micro Collagen · Bifida Ferment Lysate · Saccharomyces Ferment
Engineered actives that rebuild, restore and renew, while strengthening the skin’s structure for lasting resilience.

The Bioactive Stack
Micro Molecular Hyaluronic Acid · Honey Locust · Wild Ginger · Samphire Oil · Sea Buckthorn · Sweet Potato  · Caffeine · Niacinamide

Derived from advanced plant science, these ingredients target circulation and fatigue, smoothing lines, brightening eye area, and awakening vitality.

Several, like Wild Ginger, Sea Buckthorn, and Sweet Potato, were developed specifically for the eye area — a first in skincare.

Together, these form a dual-intelligence stack that delivers optimal potency and synergistic benefit, achieving clinical-level performance while preserving skin health.

Key Ingredients in Eye Area Complex

EGCG: A biotech-origin, highly soluble and stable EGCG derivative that targets unevenness to visibly brighten and tighten skin.
Bioidentical Type III Micro Collagen: Bioidentical, biotech micro-collagen that integrates with existing collagen to support plump, smooth skin.
Bifida Ferment Lysate: A biotech postbiotic that helps activate cellular DNA-repair mechanisms after UV exposure, supports circadian sync, and slows visible signs of aging.
Saccharomyces Ferment: Biotech yeast ferment that moisturizes, soothes, and provides antioxidants, amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and beta-glucans.
Cica Exosomes: Plant-derived exosomes that calm skin and support collagen for a plump resilient look.
Honey Locust: An eye-area–specific bioactive that helps brighten and support the under-eye contour.
Wild Ginger: Eye-area bioactive that improves oxygenation and counteracts oxidative stress to reduce unevenness and brighten for a refreshed look.
Samphire Oil: A retinol–like bioactive that supports suppleness and smooth texture.
Sea Buckthorn (Upcycled Leaves): Eye-area bioactive that helps brighten and improve tired under eye area.
Sweet Potato: Eye-area bioactive that activates “clock genes” to resynchronize circadian rhythm, reducing the appearance of heavy, tired eyes.
Ethyl-L-Ascorbic Acid & THD Ascorbate: Two stable vitamin C forms added separately to brighten, even tone, and support collagen with high skin compatibility.
Alpha Glucosal Hesperatin: A citrus-peel bioflavonoid that boosts microcirculation to smooth dullness and refine skin texture.
Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed): Draws in moisture to visibly plump and cushion the delicate eye area.
Caffeine: Classic bioactive that helps depuff and smooth for a more alert eye contour.
Niacinamide: Multifunctional bioactive that strengthens the barrier, evens tone, and reduces dullness.

How to Use Eye Area Complex in Your Routine

After cleansing and toning, dispense 1 pump of Eye Area Complex onto fingertips. Gently tap along the orbital bone, under the eyes and up toward the brow bone, avoiding direct contact with the inner eye. Follow with serum and/or moisturizer, and finish with SPF during the day.

It plays well with the rest of your routine—acids, retinoids, and richer moisturizers—helping to keep the eye area cushioned and supported even when the rest of your skincare is working hard.

Recommended for morning and evening use. 

Josh’s Philosophy: Botanical Heritage x Biotech 

Long before “green beauty” became an industry, Josh was pioneering a new way of formulating, grounded in herbal synergy, vegan integrity, and whole-plant science. He understood that true efficacy wasn’t found in single ingredients, but in the way botanicals interact, creating dynamic, living systems that deliver more than the sum of their parts.

Today, with formulas like Eye Area Complex, that philosophy lives at the intersection of botanical heritage and biotech innovation. Each formula is alive to the realities of modern life—stress, screens, climate, hormones—and built to support skin as it adapts. Science isn’t static, and neither is your skin.

Eye Area Complex is one expression of that belief: a biotech-powered, botanically grounded eye treatment that gives delicate skin what it actually needs—immediate improvement, long-term resilience, and healthier skin that goes beyond the naked eye.
