Natural wellness trends have led to DIY eye mist recipes, but are homemade sprays as effective—or safe—as commercial ones?
✔ Sterile production (eliminates contamination risks)
✔ Clinically tested formulas (pH-balanced for eye safety)
✔ Advanced ingredients (e.g., nano-hyaluronic acid)
❌ Bacterial growth risk – Distilled water isn’t enough to prevent microbes.
❌ Incorrect pH levels – May cause irritation.
❌ Short shelf life – Unlike preservative-stabilized commercial sprays.
A 2024 Consumer Reports test found 92% of commercial eye mists met safety standards, vs. only 12% of DIY samples.
DIY sprays showed 3x higher contamination rates when stored beyond 1 week (American Academy of Ophthalmology).
Stick with FDA/CE-approved brands for safety and effectiveness.
