Bio-Active Botanical Eye Cream
Benefits
Launching mid-October. Join the waitlist below.
The Bio-Active Botanical Eye Cream by African Botanics is a restorative eye treatment that firms, brightens and smooths the delicate eye contour, supporting collagen synthesis and elasticity while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, dryness and signs of fatigue.
Alfalfa Extract, Lupine Oligosaccharides and Kigelia Fruit Extract form the cream’s firming botanical complex. Alfalfa provides amino acids, vitamins and antioxidant compounds that support skin renewal, while Lupine Oligosaccharides support collagen and elastin synthesis to reinforce the skin’s structural matrix. Kigelia Fruit Extract complements this action by supporting firmness and elasticity, promoting a smoother, more toned and resilient eye contour.
Stabilised Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide complementary antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis while brightening dullness and uneven pigmentation, while lipid-soluble Vitamin E conditions and protects the skin. Together, they promote a brighter, firmer and more revitalised eye area.
Red Seaweed Extract, Poly-Hydroxy Acids and Cucumber Extract refine and replenish the skin around the eyes. Mineral- and polysaccharide-rich Red Seaweed supports hydration and resilience, while Poly-Hydroxy Acids provide gentle surface exfoliation to improve uneven texture and luminosity. Cucumber Extract provides additional soothing and hydrating properties, refreshing the delicate eye contour.
Squalane, Marula Oil and Rooibos Extract provide nourishing, barrier-supportive and antioxidant benefits. Squalane and essential fatty acid-rich Marula Oil replenish lipids and reduce moisture loss, while polyphenol-rich Rooibos Extract protects against oxidative stress and soothes the skin. The eye contour is left deeply replenished, smoother and more supple, with improved firmness, luminosity and definition.

Ingredients
Stabilised Vitamin CBrightening · Plumping · Anti-Dark Circles
Stabilised vitamin C is a chemically modified derivative of Vitamin C engineered to maintain potency and resist oxidation caused by exposure to light, heat, and oxygen, offering enhanced stability and controlled release into the skin. Once absorbed, they function as potent antioxidants, neutralising free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution to prevent oxidative stress and premature cellular ageing. Stabilised vitamin C also inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis and promoting a more even, luminous skin tone. Additionally, it stimulates collagen synthesis by supporting fibroblast activity, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Because of their lower irritation potential and greater formulation stability, these forms are accepted by most skin types; including sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin.Vitamin EAntioxidant · Nourishing
Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damaging free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.Alfafa ExtractBrightening · Plumping · Prevents Collagen Breakdown
Alfafa Extract works very similarly to retinol as it promotes epidermal renewal by regulating how many new layers of skin can rebuild; aka "keratinocyte differentiation"; providing a more rejuvenated and brighter complexion. This ingredient also stimulates collagen synthesis, as well as preventing its breakdown (aka "collagenase"), and finally it supports the skin's metabolism which increases radiance in the skin.Lupine OligosaccharidesPlumping · Anti-Wrinkle · Firming & Lifting
Plant-derived carbohydrates extracted from lupine seeds that support collagen and elastin synthesis to improve skin firmness and elasticity. They reinforce the skin’s structural matrix, promote cellular renewal and reduce fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, firmer and more resilient skin.Red Seaweed ExtractAnti-Puffiness
Red Seaweed Extract, rich in potassium, triggers the synthesis of the osmo-regulatory agent, Digeneaside. This active facilitates water flow under the eyes, reducing water-retention in the eye contour area, and therefore reduces eye puffiness.Poly-Hydroxy AcidsBrightening · Pore Decongesting · Sebum Regulating
Poly-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin. However unlike AHAs & BHAs, they consist of larger molecules so they tend to sit on the surface of the skin for longer and penetrate slowly. Therefore, they are particularly good for more sensitive skins. As well as sloughing off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion; this acid is also a fantastic hydrator.SqualaneSkin Barrier Strengthening · Reduces Trans Epidermal Water Loss · Non-Comedogenic
Squalane is a skin-identical lipid with a high affinity for the skin. Naturally found in human sebum, it enhances the skin's barrier function and promotes efficient water retention. Lightweight and non-comedogenic, squalane is suitable for all skin types.Marula OilAntioxidant · Nourishing · Skin Barrier Strengthening
Marula Oil is a lightweight yet deeply nourishing oil rich in essential fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, alongside potent antioxidants such as Vitamin E and polyphenols. It works by reinforcing the skin’s lipid barrier, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss while delivering lasting hydration and softness. Its antioxidant profile protects against environmental stress and oxidative damage, supporting overall skin resilience and slowing visible signs of ageing. Despite its richness, Marula Oil absorbs quickly without heaviness, making it especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated or compromised skin, while also being well-tolerated by sensitive skin types in need of barrier support and comfort.Kigelia Fruit ExtractBrightening · Plumping · Antioxidant
Kigelia Africana, sourced from the sausage-shaped fruit of the tree native to tropical Africa, is a botanical treasure celebrated for its extensive therapeutic and skincare benefits. Packed with bioactive compounds, this ingredient exhibits potent antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns. Its antimicrobial efficacy has been compared to modern antibiotics like penicillin and fluoroquinolones, highlighting its potential in managing infections. It has been used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, sunburn, and insect bites. In contemporary skincare, Kigelia Africana is prized for its ability to brighten and clarify the skin, improve firmness, and address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Its rich antioxidant content combats free radical damage, which contributes to skin aging and uneven tone, while its phytosterols and iridoids provide soothing, anti-inflammatory effects that calm irritation and promote a balanced complexion. Additionally, this botanical aids in cell regeneration, leading to a smoother, more radiant appearance with consistent use. Kigelia Africana’s gentle yet effective nature makes it particularly well-suited for sensitive or inflammation-prone skin, offering a holistic approach to skincare that supports both repair and rejuvenation.Rooibos ExtractAntioxidant
A powerful antioxidant-rich botanical extract abundant in polyphenols and flavonoids. Rooibos Extract protects the skin against oxidative stress and environmental aggressors while calming irritation and supporting the skin’s natural defences. Its soothing properties make it particularly beneficial for stressed, sensitive and redness-prone skin.Cucumber ExtractPlumping · Hydrating
Cucumber Extract is rich in Vitamins and minerals. Having a variety of benefits, this ingredient is incredibly gentle and multi-faceted. It is softening and hydrating, as well as calming and refreshing. Furthermore, it also has some astringent and purifying properties, making it suitable for sensitive skins, oily skins and dehydrated skins.
