8 ml / 0.3 fl oz · dropper · lasts 6 to 8 weeks

Targets the lines around your eyes at their mechanical source, not just the dryness on the surface. Eyecicle is built around a dual peptide complex, Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and Pentapeptide-18, that works on the repeated muscle contractions behind the look of crow’s feet and under-eye creasing, with a cold-preserved galactomyces ferment and niacinamide to brighten and strengthen the thin skin there, plus cucumber and mayblossom to calm puffiness. Formulated in small weekly batches and kept at 4°C from raw ingredient to finished bottle, so the peptides keep the exact shape they need to signal with. A silky, lightweight fluid that absorbs fast, layers cleanly under makeup, and leaves no greasy residue. No heavy oils, no chemical preservatives, because cold does their job.

How to Use
Morning and evening:
  1. After cleansing and moisturizing, dispense 1-2 drops onto your ring finger
  2. Gently pat (never rub) around the entire orbital bone, from the inner corner outward
  3. Allow 30-60 seconds for absorption
  4. In the morning, apply before sunscreen; in the evening, apply as your last step and let the peptides work overnight
Tip: Apply after D.B.T. Baba Yaga or your preferred moisturizer. Your ring finger applies the gentlest pressure, which is what the delicate eye area needs. Lash extensions welcome: Eyecicle leaves no heavy oils or residue.
Full Ingredient List
We formulate with ingredients most brands can’t touch. Because our formulas live their whole lives cold, shelf stability never enters the equation: no swapping fragile peptides for tougher, weaker stand-ins, and no preservative system to design around. Just the best ingredient for the job, however delicate.

Key actives: Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and Pentapeptide-18, two signaling peptides that work on the muscle contractions behind the look of expression lines; galactomyces ferment filtrate and niacinamide (vitamin B3) to refine, brighten, and strengthen the thin under-eye skin; cucumber and mayblossom to calm puffiness and support circulation.

Full list: Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, Vegetable Glycerin (Glycerin), Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Pentapeptide-18, Distilled Water (Aqua), Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Propanediol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Spirulina Maxima Powder, Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum Sambac) Flower Extract, Mayblossom (Crataegus Monogyna) Flower Extract, Vijaysar (Pterocarpus Marsupium) Bark Extract, Salicylic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Sclerotium Gum, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Pullulan, Benzyl Alcohol, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine, Citric Acid.
Storage
You don't need to refrigerate products during daily use, but we recommend finishing each bottle within 90 days of leaving the fridge. If you're not ready to start using a product right away, store it cold until you are (any household fridge is fine). Don't freeze water-based products, and shake well after thawing if any do freeze. Keep all products out of direct sunlight.
Common Questions
Is Eyecicle a moisturizer?
No. It’s a targeted eye treatment. The dual peptide complex works on the muscle contractions behind the look of crow’s feet and under-eye creasing, while the ferment, niacinamide, and botanicals brighten and calm puffiness. Apply it after your moisturizer, morning and evening.
When will I see results?
Most customers notice the eye area looking smoother and less puffy within the first two to three weeks. Deeper, more set-in lines soften more gradually with consistent twice-daily use.
How long does a bottle last?
Most customers finish the 8 ml bottle in 6 to 8 weeks using 1 to 2 drops twice daily. The formula is concentrated, so a little goes further than you’d expect.
Can I use it with lash extensions?
Yes. Eyecicle contains no heavy oils, waxes, or residue-leaving ingredients. Pat gently around the orbital bone and avoid the lash line, and it wears well with extensions.

Three actives, full potency

The eye serum that arrives alive

Cold-preserved from the moment it's formulated: no warm warehouses, no months on a shelf, no chemical stabilizers. Three actives reach your skin at the same potency as the day they were made. Tap a card to see the mechanism.

Dual Peptide Complex

Works at the muscle, not the surface

Two peptides that work on the look of expression lines at different points in the signaling cascade. Acetyl Octapeptide-3 calms the muscle contraction at the application site, the repeated tightening that folds crow’s feet and under-eye creasing over time. Pentapeptide-18 works upstream, easing the signal that triggers those contractions in the first place. Together they address expression lines at their source instead of masking them with moisture. The effect depends on each peptide keeping its exact three-dimensional shape, the first thing heat takes apart.

Galactomyces Ferment + Niacinamide

Refines and strengthens thin skin

The same cold-preserved galactomyces ferment used in Gaea’s Gala toner: a metabolite-rich filtrate that refines the look of skin texture and brightens the under-eye area. Niacinamide strengthens the moisture barrier, which matters more around the eyes than anywhere else on your face, where skin is thin and loses moisture fast. It also supports capillary-wall integrity, which helps soften the look of dark circles over time.

Cucumber + Mayblossom

Calms, cools, and de-puffs

The de-puffing layer. Cucumber soothes and helps reduce the fluid retention behind morning puffiness. Mayblossom (Crataegus monogyna) flower extract supports microcirculation around the orbital area, helping address the sluggish flow that leaves the eyes looking tired and shadowed. Lightweight and residue-free, so you can apply before bed without waking up puffy.

So what does all that heat do?

The Problem Was Never Your Routine.

Preservatives fight one problem. Heat causes three.

Bacterial growth 1

Bacterial Digestion

Bacteria multiply in warm formulas. Preservatives suppress them. Cold slows them too, without adding to what your skin has to absorb.

Oxidation reactions 2

Redox Reactions

Heat drives chemical reactions that degrade vitamin C, ceramides, and peptides. Preservatives don't slow this process. Cold does.

Enzymatic activity 3

Enzymatic Activity

Plant enzymes keep breaking down botanical compounds after harvest. Preservatives don't affect this. Cold puts them on pause.

Skincare mini fridge with a rotten banana
About those beauty fridges

Cold Can't Unspoil the Banana

Everyone wants fresh skincare. That's why beauty fridges are everywhere. But chilling a conventional serum makes about as much sense as refrigerating an old banana.

Your serum absorbed 1,956 degree-days of heat before it ever met a fridge. A banana at least has the courtesy to turn brown; a degraded cream looks and feels identical to a fresh one.

Beauty fridges make conventional skincare cold at the end. Wild Ice is cold from the beginning.

From our studio to your door

Cold from the very first step

Every Eyecicle bottle is formulated in small weekly batches in our studio and held cold at 4°C, from raw ingredient through formulation.

Ingredients kept cold

Every ingredient stored at 4°C from the moment it arrives.

🧪

Formulated fresh

Formulated in small weekly batches, cold throughout.

📦

Held at 4°C

Finished bottles go straight into cold storage and stay there.

Shipped within days

Made fresh weekly, so actives are still active when they reach you.

So why don't all brands chill?

Between warm warehouses, hot freight, and un-chilled retail shelves, it's nearly impossible to get big while staying cold. The industry won't change until enough customers demand it. Someone had to take the plunge first, so we did.

Mila, founder of Wild Ice Botanicals

Fresh was never optional

I grew up in the Soviet Union watching my grandmother make skincare from her garden. It worked because it was fresh. There was no other option.

In 2018, I began cold-storing every ingredient and finished product. I hadn't changed a single formula; the reviews changed on their own. A national retailer offered us shelf placement but refused to refrigerate. We walked away.

Every product is made in our studio, in small weekly batches. I've worn every formula through three pregnancies. Every bottle is one I'd use on my own family.

Common questions about cold-preserved skincare

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Eyecicle is a targeted eye treatment, not a moisturizer. Most eye creams are facial moisturizers in a smaller bottle: they hydrate the surface and stop there. Eyecicle is built around two signaling peptides that work on expression lines at their mechanical source, supported by a cold-preserved ferment, niacinamide, and botanical de-puffers. Apply it after your moisturizer, morning and evening.
Most customers report a visible difference in fine lines and puffiness within the first two to three weeks. Newer, shallower lines respond faster; deeper crow’s feet soften more gradually, with change over six to eight weeks. Consistency matters more than quantity; twice daily, every day.
The peptides in Eyecicle work on the muscle contractions that create and deepen expression lines over time. Newer, shallower lines typically respond faster. Deeper crow’s feet soften more gradually with consistent use. Most customers report visible improvement in fine lines within two to three weeks, with deeper lines showing change at six to eight weeks.
Most customers finish the 8 ml bottle in 6 to 8 weeks using 1 to 2 drops twice daily. The formula is concentrated, so a little goes further than you’d expect from a small bottle.
No. Eyecicle is formulated without the heavy oils and rich emollients that cause morning puffiness in most eye creams. The base is galactomyces ferment filtrate and lightweight glycerin, not occlusive butters or waxes. There’s a second factor most people don’t consider: when eye cream ingredients degrade through heat and oxidation, they form new compounds that weren’t part of the original formula, and those byproducts can be irritating even when the parent ingredients were perfectly gentle. Cold preservation prevents that degradation, so the formula that reaches your skin is the one that was designed.
Yes. Eyecicle contains no heavy oils, waxes, or residue-leaving ingredients. Customers with lash extensions use it daily without issues. Pat gently around the orbital bone and avoid applying directly to the lash line.
The soft green comes from the botanicals themselves, cucumber and spirulina alongside the galactomyces ferment, not from any added dye. The exact shade varies a little from batch to batch, the way real plant extracts do. There are no synthetic dyes in the formula.
You don’t need to refrigerate products during daily use, but we recommend finishing each vial within 90 days of leaving the fridge. If you’re not ready to start using it right away, store it cold until you are (the kitchen fridge is fine). Don’t freeze water-based products, and shake well after thawing if any do freeze. Keep all products out of direct sunlight. A beauty fridge is a nice bonus, not a requirement: the cold-preservation advantage happens before the product ever reaches you, and many customers like the extra cooling sensation on the eye area.
No heavy oils (the lightweight base won’t cause puffiness or interfere with lash extensions), no synthetic fragrances, no chemical preservatives, no parabens, no phthalates, and no animal-derived ingredients. Eyecicle is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
