Once Past Midnight Brightening Eye Cream

A brightening cream for eyes that stayed up chasing magic

Infused with shea, ginkgo, grape, and multi-weight hyaluronic acid to revive and soften where stories linger.

Anti-aging — like any good ritual.

Crafted for the woman who leaves the ball barefoot and unbothered.

A glass slipper for your gaze.

🌙 THE PHILOSOPHY

This is no ordinary eye cream.

It’s a fragment of myth rebottled —
stitched with grace, resilience, and survival.

Formulated just past midnight, this potion blurs shadows, softens lines, and catches light like a silk ribbon in candlelight.

🌿 HERO INGREDIENTS (Lore + Science)

🌻 Sunflower Seed Oil

🌰 Horse Chestnut Seed Extract

Prized in herbal medicine for centuries to reduce puffiness and encourage healthy microcirculation.

🌾 Rice Bran Oil

Once used by Japanese geishas for porcelain-smooth skin. Softens, smooths, and lends a refined glow.

✨ THE RITUAL

Radiance & Resilience

Use in the morning — especially after late nights,
when the world says you must vanish
and your heart says: awaken.

Tap gently around the eye area with your ring finger.
Layer after serum and before cream.
