Common Eye Cream Ingredients Include Fruits

Eye creams have gone to great lengths to get a powerful mix of ingredients in their formulas. Most solid eye creams have a common mix of ingredients with clinical research from labs. The best ones go to another level and add fruits to the mix, due to their antioxidant properties.
Eye creams come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of marketing claims. The best ones use real ingredients such as argirelene and haloxyl as a base, and then reach out to put in some intriguing antioxidant-rich fruits. Today I'll take a look at some fruits and other ingredients role in anti aging eye creams.

Pomegranate extract is a rather new concept I've been lucky enough to run into. It's a great ingredient due to its antioxidant properties, of course. It's easier to get into an extract and in a product than the acclaimed acai berry, with similar results. Pomegranate improves wound healing, restores collagen, and works to prevent wrinkles.

Another popular fruit that is being put in eye creams is the one I mentioned before, the acai berry. This berry, which has been the talk of media minds since 2002, is found in the Amazon region of Brazil. When Dr. Nicholas Perricone named it the #1 super food in the world, it took off in many diet pill formulas and other weight loss programs. It's now making its way into skin care products. I've seen in in an award winning eye cream and also an exfoliant thus far. It's great that the acai berry works so well in formulas, because it is such a fiasco getting it into the United States while it's ripe. It can spoil within 24 hours if not harvested properly.

If you think you've heard it all, you haven't. People are now using apple stem cells in eye care products as well. This is a rather new development in this industry, but it seems to be doing well and getting good reviews.

In other skin care ingredients, we have bananas working well as a skin care supplement in a mask. Apple juice has worked well as a home remedy in wrinkle treatment. Odds have it that you will see these brought down into some shape or form where the extract can be used in a skin care formula. It's just a matter of time.

Fruits will continually be used in these eye creams and other skin care products as science evolves. It's just a matter of which one is next in line.
