S.NATURE Aqua Squalane Panthenol Eye Cream For Face Balm

What is this product?

A 25g rich eye balm from S.NATURE, filed in Korea as a dual function product for wrinkle care and brightening, and positioned by the brand as usable anywhere wrinkles are a concern rather than at the eye contour alone. The printed list runs thirty four items and discloses two concentrations outright: squalane at 30,000ppm and panthenol at 20,000ppm, both repeated on the tube itself. Adenosine and alpha bisabolol, the notified actives behind the two filed functions, sit at positions seventeen and sixteen. The base is oil and wax led, with coconut oil, olive derivatives, rice bran wax and shea butter, so it seals rather than hydrates and the brand instructs layering it over a water cream. The brand cites a twenty subject panel for a 12.7 percent wrinkle reading and a 36.67 percent dark circle reading, with no duration, control or report published.

What makes it different?

Two concentrations disclosed on the label itself rather than in marketing copy, and an eye product the brand explicitly tells you to use on the whole face.
