Nyx Night Eye Balm
A rich, 100% natural night balm for the eye area, built on sea buckthorn oil to support overnight repair. It's wonderful botanical base formula works to soften fine lines, deeply moisturize and rejuvenate the delicate skin around your eyes.
In Greek mythology, Nyx was the goddess of night... and not a gentle one. She was so powerful that even Zeus was afraid of her, riding her chariot across the dark sky answerable to no one. When it came to naming our first ever eye care range, Tommy didn't pick the name by accident.
An eye balm from Edinburgh Natural Skincare Company has been requested for years. It's taken us over six months to get it right, and as with every product we've ever made, Tommy tested it on himself the entire way through.
NYX is the night half of our new eye duo, built to repair while you sleep. It shares the same nourishing base as its other half, EOS (Meadowfoam seed oil, squalene, cocoa seed butter and candelilla wax) but where EOS leans on açaí berry to help defend your skin through the day, NYX is built around sea buckthorn oil, chosen specifically for the chance given to skin to repair.
Night is when skin does its real work. It rebuilds collagen, repairs the damage of daily stressors and replenishes moisture recovering from the day. Sea buckthorn is one of the very few natural sources of omega-7 fatty acids, alongside a dense concentration of vitamins and carotenoids, making it a purposeful choice to assist your skin in it's work.
It's 100% natural, completely vegan since we use candelilla wax rather than beeswax and because it is applied to the eye area it's completely free from essential oils. The ingredients itself creates a warm, earthy and faintly cocoa scent.
Limnanthes alba seed oil (meadowfoam seed oil), Squalane, Theobroma cacao seed butter (cocoa seed butter), Euphorbia cerifera wax (candelilla wax), Hippophae rhamnoides fruit oil (sea buckthorn fruit oil), Bakuchiol, Bisabolol, Tocopherol (vitamin E)
Allergens: None.
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil: Supports overnight skin repair
Sea buckthorn fruit oil is one of the few natural sources of omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), alongside vitamins A, C and E and a dense concentration of carotenoids. It supports the skin barrier, helps calm the look of inflammation, and is associated with supporting collagen production and softening the appearance of fine lines and past sun damage, exactly the kind of restorative work skin does best overnight.
Bakuchiol: A gentle, plant-derived retinol alternative
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived alternative to retinol. It supports smoother, more even-looking under-eye skin and helps soften the appearance of fine lines overnight, without the sensitivity that can come with traditional retinoids, important for skin as thin and reactive as the eye area.
Bisabolol: Calms and soothes the under-eye area
Bisabolol is a calming derivative of chamomile. It helps soothe the delicate under-eye area and supports a more comfortable, less irritated feel. Ideal for skin that's been rubbed, mascara'd and squinted at a screen all day.
Squalane: deep, lightweight hydration
Squalane closely resembles the skin's own natural oils, so it absorbs readily and helps lock in moisture without ever feeling heavy or greasy. Essential for a balm that needs to sit comfortably around the eyes all night.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil: long-lasting conditioning
Meadowfoam seed oil is exceptionally stable and rich in long-chain fatty acids. It deeply conditions and helps reinforce the skin barrier, and is also part of why this balm keeps so well without synthetic preservatives.
Cocoa Seed Butter: Rich, overnight seal
Cocoa seed butter is a naturally emollient butter that helps seal in moisture and the other actives while you sleep. It's what gives NYX its rich, balm-like texture and that soft, warm scent.
Using your ring finger as it naturally applies the lightest pressure, apply a small amount gently around the orbital bone, working from the inner corner outward. Avoid direct contact with the eye itself.
Use nightly as the last step in your evening routine, before bed.
A note from us if you have not used our products before: This will most likely be your first experience of a water-free, fully concentrated formula, so it will go further than you'd expect. Apply less than you think.
Is NYX Night Eye Balm safe to use around sensitive eyes?
Yes. NYX is fragrance-free with no essential oils, formulated specifically for the delicate skin around the eye. As with any new product, we'd always recommend a small patch test first if you have particularly reactive skin.
Why does NYX have a scent if it's fragrance-free?
Our ingredients is absolutely natural and all of them have a certain scent. Sea buckthorn has a warm, earthy character, and cocoa seed butter brings a soft, chocolatey note. What you're smelling is the natural scent of the ingredients themselves.
Is NYX Night Eye Balm vegan?
Yes. We use candelilla wax rather than beeswax, so both NYX and EOS are entirely vegan.
How long does a 10ml eye balm last?
Because the formula is water-free and concentrated, a little goes further than you'd think. Used nightly (both eyes), most people find a jar lasts around 2–3 months.
Can I use NYX in the morning, or EOS at night?
While it is perfectly fine if you want to choose between the two and only use one for day and night routine, they're formulated for their specific moment. NYX contains sea buckthorn oil for overnight repair, EOS contains açaí berry for daytime protection.
We'd always recommend using each as intended. We have created a the Night & Day Set which means you're never caught without the right one.
If you really want to only choose one: Choose Nyx if you have mature skin and you're concerned about fine lines, choose Eos if you're more concerned about protection as that's great for younger skin.
