Dry, irritated eyelids can make your eyes feel uncomfortable, even when the problem seems centered on the lashes. Eyelid Butter is a proprietary, honey-based product designed to support healthier lids and lashes while moisturizing the delicate skin around the eyes. It is primarily offered as part of dry eye care and can be used at home as a simple addition to a nightly routine.
Available through the Dry Eye Center at Siepser Eyecare in Wayne, PA, Eyelid Butter was developed with input from Michele Pendrak Bush, O.D., the practice’s dry eye specialist, in collaboration with a local beekeeper. The cruelty-free formula uses all-natural ingredients and was designed specifically for the eyelid area, making it a useful option for patients dealing with lash-line buildup, dryness, irritation, or other eyelid concerns.
How Does Eyelid Butter Support Healthy Lids and Lashes?
One of Eyelid Butter’s main goals is to support a cleaner, healthier eyelid margin.
Demodex mites naturally live in hair follicles and oil glands, including around the eyelashes. In some patients, these mites can contribute to lash collarettes, crusting, redness, burning, stinging, recurrent styes, and lash loss.
Eyelid Butter uses honey as a key ingredient because of its broad antimicrobial properties. The formula is designed to help support eyelid hygiene while also conditioning the lash line.
A post-market retrospective analysis found:
-
A 67% reduction in lash collarettes on the upper lids
-
An 85% reduction in lash collarettes on the lower lids
These findings are based on retrospective post-market data, so individual results can vary.
Can Eyelid Butter Help With Lash Health?
Healthy lashes depend in part on a healthy eyelid environment. When buildup, irritation, or Demodex activity affects the lash line, lashes may become more fragile or prone to shedding.
Eyelid Butter also contains oils that have traditionally been used to support hair and lash conditioning, including:
-
Argan oil
-
Castor oil
-
Lavender oil
-
Rosemary oil
Users have also reported improved lash growth after several months of consistent use. Results vary from person to person, but the combination of eyelid hygiene and conditioning ingredients is intended to support overall lash health.
Is Eyelid Butter Gentle Enough for Daily Use?
The formula is pH-balanced for use around the eyes and is designed not to sting if a small amount gets into the eye.
Use it at bedtime to easily add Eyelid Butter to your nightly eyelid-care routine. Apply to the eyelid and lash area to help support moisture and cleanliness while you sleep.
Because the skin around the eyelids is especially thin and prone to dryness, the formula may also help improve how the eyelid skin feels over time.
Can Eyelid Butter Be Used as a Moisturizer or Makeup Primer?
Yes. Although Eyelid Butter is primarily offered for dry eye and eyelid care, you can also use it as an eyelid moisturizer and makeup primer.
The moisturizing formula can help soften dry eyelid skin and create a smoother surface before applying products such as eyeshadow or eyeliner. If you notice makeup drags or skips across dry eyelid skin, this added moisture may make application feel more comfortable.
Why Choose Siepser Eyecare for Eyelid Butter?
Eyelid Butter is unique to Siepser Eyecare and was developed with direct input from Michele Pendrak Bush, O.D., the practice’s dry eye specialist, in collaboration with a local beekeeper. Her experience with challenging dry eye and ocular surface conditions helped shape a formula created specifically for the eyelids and lash line rather than general skincare.
Through the Dry Eye Center in Wayne, patients can also receive a broader evaluation to determine whether eyelid symptoms are related to Demodex, meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, poor tear quality, or another cause. You can then use Eyelid Butter on its own or incorporate it into a more complete treatment plan when appropriate. The formula has also received award recognition for its unique approach to eyelid and lash care.
