Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in the Kat Burki Kb5 Eye Recovery Masks:
Kat Burki Kb5 Eye Recovery Masks Ingredients
Kat Burki Kb5 Eye Recovery Masks features KB5 Complex instead of water. It is a combination of five natural skin-soothing ingredients.
Arnica Flower
Arnica flower is a natural anti-inflammatory. It reduces puffiness without causing dryness or dehydration around the delicate eye skin.
It also decreases bruising and inflammation. Arnica promotes healing and reduces swelling.
Calendula Flower
Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.
Calendula can contain flavonoids which are believed to decrease the appearance of dark undereye circles. It does this by reducing the melanin in the skin. The result is brighter looking skin and reduced aged spots. [1] Studies have shown that calendula can increase collagen production and stimulates epithelial cell growth to promote cell turnover
It is an anti-inflammatory that helps heal the skin. It is generally used in conjunction with other ingredients to help buffer potent ingredients and soothe the skin.
Gotu Kola
Gotu Kola is also known as Centella Asiatica. It improves skin elasticity while reducing sagging.
Gotu Kola boosts antioxidant activity, strengthenings the skin and increases blood circulation. [1]
Lavender Oil
Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin.
It contains linalyl acetate, an anti-inflammatory that heals skin irritation.[2]
Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep skin healthy.
It has soothing properties to calm any imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.
The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth in the skin.
Chamomile
Chamomile is a gentle and hypoallergenic extract.
It is also an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [3]
Chamomile is excellent in a formulation with powerful actives because it contains flavones.
These flavones inhibit the production of inflammation, even in deeper skin layers. [4]
Also, the apigenin in Chamomile protects the skin barrier. [5]
In addition to the KB5 base, this formula contains:
Botanical Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid immediately plumps the skin with moisture, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines.
Plant Stem Cells
Plant Stem Cells protect skin from oxidative stress and help reverse skin damage.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E softens and smooth fine lines such as crows feet.
Cold Processed Avocado Oil
Avocado oil benefits the skin.
Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils.
Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils. Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture on hair and skin.
Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C, D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[6]
Bearberry
A low growing shrub that is an antioxidant and free radical fighter.
It’s benefits include that It accelerates cell turnover.
It also gently reduces the overproduction of melanin. This reduces sun damage and dark circles as well as brown age spots on the upper cheekbone.
Silk Amino Acids
Silk Amino Acids help skin to maintain moisture. They also help skin stay smooth and hydrated.
Applying amino acids strengthen the skin against environmental damage.
Cucumber
Cucumber is soothing and reduces swelling. It has a high water content to hydrate the skin.
It also contains skin-friendly vitamin K, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, manganese and vitamin A.
Vitamin K reduces dark circles by reducing tiny blood vessels that may leak and cause a blue, brown or purple tone to the undereye.
Wakame
Wakame is a Japanese seaweed. This highly nutritious seaweed is found in Miso soup.
It reduces wrinkles and hydrates skin.
Rich in minerals and vitamins, it maintains skin firmness and elasicity.

ABOUT THIS Kat Burki Kb5 Eye Recovery Masks POST
Kat Burki Kb5 Eye Recovery Masks were submitted to Style Chicks for consideration purposes. All opinions and experiences are 100% our own.
I am living in eye masks between Zoom calls. 🙂
Time well spent, Louisa!
Those are great ingredients! I use straight Arnica on my undereyes and a few of the other ingredients but this looks much easier to use.
Arnica is amazing! I find this formulation much easier on my eye skin than direct application of any one specific ingredient within it. And the masks really keep the active ingredients in place so no getting creams in your eyes!
