Hero Ingredient Spotlight: Manuka Oil
Summary: Manuka Oil is a powerful yet gentle botanical extract known for its calming and purifying properties. In our Eye Rescue Lidstick, Manuka Oil helps soothe redness, support the skin’s natural balance, and protect the delicate eyelid area from everyday environmental stress.
Why it’s special
Manuka Oil is distilled from the leaves of the New Zealand Leptospermum scoparium plant and contains triketones, a group of compounds known for their antimicrobial and calming effects. Research published in the Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection found that Manuka Oil demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity while remaining gentle to the skin (PubMed)
Its soothing properties make it ideal for irritated, reactive, or easily stressed skin.
How it supports the eye area
The eyelid skin is thin and vulnerable to redness, environmental stress, and everyday friction from makeup removal. Manuka Oil helps keep this area comfortable by supporting a balanced, calm skin surface without clogging pores.
In the Eye Rescue Lidstick, Manuka Oil works alongside nurturing ingredients like Oat Ceramides, Borage Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, and Kakadu Plum to soothe irritated eyelids and support overnight comfort.
