Key differences

Certified organic vs. not shown as organic

Era Organics Eye Cream Balm is USDA Organic certified. TULA’s product page does not show USDA Organic or certified organic.

A water-free balm vs. a formula that lists water first

Era’s ingredient list has no water. It’s built on oils, butters and beeswax and comes out as a rich balm that melts into skin. TULA’s ingredient list starts with aqua/water/eau. A concentrated balm of oils and butters can leave a cushiony, moisturizing layer on the delicate under-eye area. That’s why Era is a natural fit for overnight use and dry under-eyes.

Nourishing oils, butters and honey

Era’s formula includes Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Honey, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Calendula Oil, Argan Oil and White Beeswax. None of these are on TULA’s ingredient list. These ingredients can help moisturize, comfort and protect the skin barrier, keeping the under-eye area looking soft and supple.

Phenoxyethanol-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free

Era is phenoxyethanol-free, paraben-free, fragrance-free, silicone-free, PEG-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free and propylene-glycol-free. TULA’s ingredient list includes phenoxyethanol, and TULA’s product page says the balm is fragrance free. If you read labels for phenoxyethanol, that’s a clear way to tell the two apart.
