Nothing in particular. If you're using eye creams, eyeliners or mascaras – anything that goes around the eye – nine times out of ten, they'll be ophthalmologist tested. But if they're not, it's nothing to worry about so long as you don't get any in your eyes. If you do, rinse thoroughly to avoid any stinging.
