How it works
The ingredient list for this eye cream names Green Tea Leaf Extract, Tripeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1 and Panthenol. The skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, which is why a dedicated eye formula is built lighter and applied with the ring finger rather than pressed in like a face cream. This is a Korean-market formula eye cream, not the reformulated version some US shelves carry. Everything named above is read directly off this SKU's own ingredient list rather than assumed from a similar product in the eye care category or a different size of the same item. That distinction matters because a Korean-market formula and a US-facing reformulation of the same product name do not always share one ingredient list.

How to use
- Use it as the last step before sunscreen in the morning, or the last step at night, patted around the orbital bone with the ring finger.
What is the KLAIRS Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter 20g for?
It is an eye cream built around Green Tea Leaf Extract, Tripeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1 and Panthenol, named on this product's own ingredient list. Use it as the last step before sunscreen in the morning, or the last step at night, patted around the orbital bone with the ring finger.
Where does the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter 20g go in a routine?
Use it as the last step before sunscreen in the morning, or the last step at night, patted around the orbital bone with the ring finger. That placement is what an eye cream in a Korean-formula routine is generally built for, and it is the sequence we would use for the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter 20g specifically.
Is this the Korean-market formula or a US-reformulated version?
What we ship is the version built for the Korean market, with its Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box.
Anything to know before using it?
Pat, do not rub, and keep it away from direct contact with the eye itself. That placement is what an eye cream in a Korean-formula routine is generally built for, and it is the sequence we would use for the Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter 20g specifically.
Does this fit into a routine alongside other Korean Pharmacy products?
Yes. The Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter 20g is built to sit in the ordinary sequence of a Korean skincare routine, so it layers normally with a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer step from any brand, including other KLAIRS products in the same line.

36 of 37 explained
- Aqua (Water) solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Stearic Acid fatty acid
- Stearic Acid is a saturated fatty acid from plant fats, and one of the three lipid classes skin's own barrier is built from. In a formula it thickens, stabilises the emulsion and can be turned into a soap-style cleanser by adding a base.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil emollient
- Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils.
- Betaine humectant
- Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
- Caffeine active
- Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin.
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract plant extract
- Adzuki bean seed extract, the pat of Korean home skincare. It carries saponins and starches and is used as a conditioning, mildly cleansing extract.
- Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract plant extract
- Artemisia Princeps is Korean mugwort, one of the country's oldest skincare and bathing plants. Its leaf extract is used for the look of reddened, reactive skin, and it is the ingredient behind the mugwort category.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract plant extract
- Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine.
- Chaenomeles Sinensis Fruit Extract plant extract
- Chinese quince fruit extract, the mogwa of Korean tea. It carries fruit acids, tannins and vitamin C and is used as a conditioning extract.
- Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract plant extract
- Golden chamomile extract, carrying flavonoids and saponins. It is used for the look of reddened skin and visible surface vessels.
24 more explained
- Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract plant extract
- Cassia cinnamon bark extract, a traditional herbal ingredient carrying cinnamaldehyde and tannins. It is used in warming, antioxidant-rich blends.
- Corallina Officinalis Extract plant extract
- Corallina Officinalis is coral seaweed, which holds calcium and magnesium in its structure. Its extract is used as a mineral-rich conditioning ingredient.
- Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract plant extract
- Turmeric Root Extract carries curcuminoids, well studied plant antioxidants. It is used for the look of dullness and uneven tone, and it tints a formula faintly yellow.
- Diospyros Kaki Leaf Extract plant extract
- Diospyros Kaki is the persimmon tree. Its leaf extract carries tannins and vitamin C and is used as an antioxidant extract.
- Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract plant extract
- Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin.
- Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract plant extract
- Ocimum Sanctum is holy basil, or tulsi. Its leaf extract carries plant antioxidants and is used in formulas built for the look of stressed, reactive skin.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
- Copper Tripeptide-1 peptide
- Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines.
- Oligopeptide-29 peptide
- A short chain of amino acids used as a conditioning peptide. Oligopeptide numbers are registry entries, not strengths.
- Oligopeptide-32 peptide
- A short amino acid chain used as a conditioning peptide, usually one of several oligopeptides declared together.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Pantolactone humectant
- Pantolactone is a panthenol relative used as a conditioning humectant. It softens the outer layer of skin and helps a formula feel comfortable.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer thickener
- This is the thickener behind most gel-cream textures. It builds a soft, bouncy gel that collapses to a light fluid as it is rubbed in.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Glyceryl Stearate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
- Sorbitan Isostearate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Isostearate is a mild emulsifier that holds water into oil, the direction a cleansing balm or an oil-based cream needs.
- Cetearyl Alcohol fatty alcohol
- Cetearyl Alcohol is a waxy solid, not the drying kind of alcohol. It is a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohols used to thicken a cream and keep oil and water from separating, and it softens skin as it does so.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Arachidic Acid fatty acid
- Arachidic Acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid used to thicken and stabilise a formula.
- Oleic Acid fatty acid
- Oleic Acid is the main fatty acid in olive and many nut oils. It is a rich emollient that softens skin and can feel heavy on skin prone to congestion.
- Palmitic Acid fatty acid
- Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside surfactant
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside is a sugar-derived cleansing surfactant. It foams modestly and is mild enough for low-pH cleansers built for reactive skin.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
