Bio-Active Botanical Eye Cream

The African Botanics Bio-Active Botanical Eye Cream is a soft, buttery cream formulated to address the full spectrum of eye area concerns — dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and loss of firmness — in one multifunctional daily treatment. It combines biotech actives including bio-fermented Alfalfa, Polyglutamic Acid, and Vitamin C with deeply nourishing bio-active botanicals for a comprehensive approach to eye contour rejuvenation.

It brightens, firms, hydrates, and soothes the delicate skin around the eyes. Alfalfa and Vitamin C work to visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles and uneven tone, while Lupine Oligosaccharides support visible firmness and smoothness. Polyglutamic Acid helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, and Seaweed supports the skin's collagen synthesis. Marula, Olive Squalane, and Kigelia Fruit nourish and calm for a texture that feels as good as it performs.

Apply morning and evening to the orbital area — the bony ridge surrounding the eye — using a gentle tapping motion with your ring finger. Begin at the inner corner and work outward. A small amount goes a long way. Avoid applying too close to the eye itself; focus on the orbital bone, under-eye area, and upper eyelid bone.

Yes. The cream can be applied to the orbital area including the upper eyelid bone. Apply to the bony orbital ridge rather than directly onto the mobile eyelid or immediately adjacent to the eye, to avoid product migration.

Yes. This formula is retinol-free and retinal-free, making it suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As with any skincare product, we recommend consulting with your physician or medical professional if you have specific concerns during pregnancy or nursing.

The formula contains a light aromatherapy blend of Rose Geranium and Frankincense essential oils, both chosen for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The scent is subtle and herbaceous — not perfumed. If you have a known sensitivity to essential oils, we recommend patch testing before use.

All skin types, including sensitive skin. The formula is botanically soothing, free from harsh actives, and built on a skin-identical base that includes Olive Squalane and Marula — making it well-tolerated even for those with reactive or easily irritated skin around the eye area.

Apply after cleansing and any serums, before your moisturizer or facial oil. Use both morning and evening. In the morning, Vitamin C and Tocopherol provide antioxidant defense throughout the day. In the evening, the nourishing base supports overnight recovery.

Yes — the two products are designed to complement each other as a complete eye ritual. Apply the Eye Contour Gel-Serum first as your treatment step, allowing it to fully absorb, then follow with the Bio-Active Botanical Eye Cream to nourish, seal, and protect. The Gel-Serum addresses puffiness, microcirculation, and barrier reinforcement; the Eye Cream adds brightening, deep hydration, and firmness. Together they cover every dimension of eye contour care.

Yes. The formula is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, made with ethically and responsibly sourced ingredients.

With consistent twice-daily use, a 15ml jar typically lasts 3–4 months. A small amount — no larger than a grain of rice per eye — is sufficient for full coverage of the orbital area.
