What is Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol (bah-koo-chee-ol) is an oil extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Babchi plant. Similar to retinoids, bakuchiol works by stimulating collagen producing receptors in the skin.
 
This oil- based serum is packed with skin loving ingredients that provide a rich and potent source of antioxidants to help protect skin against environmental damage.

How does it help my skin?

  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Brightens uneven skin tone
  • Improves skin texture by promoting cell turnover
  • Boosts hydration
  • Provides lightweight nourishment
  • Safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Soothes the skin with anti-inflammatory properties

Why a Retinol alternative?

Retinol's potent skin benefits may not be suitable for sensitive skin. Bakuchiol has been shown to be much gentler on the skin and is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
