Bakuchiol; What Is It & Why We Love It
Retinol (Vitamin A) has been the “It Girl” of skincare for decades and we get the hype. It helps skin cells renew faster, slows collagen breakdown and strengthens the deeper layers of skin (where wrinkles set up camp). On top of that, it brightens, smooths and even helps keep blemishes at bay. No wonder it’s got such a loyal fan club!
But... Retinol isn’t for everyone.
For sensitive or reactive skin, it can cause redness, dryness and flakiness. It also increases sun sensitivity, so if you’re not committed to daily SPF, it’s a no-go. Plus, it’s off-limits for anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, experiencing skin conditions or on certain skin medications.
Enter Bakuchiol: A Gentle, Plant-Powered Retinol
Pronounced bah-koo-chee-ol, this natural wonder comes from the Babchi Herb. It’s been
used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries and has earned the nickname “plant-based Retinol”, and for good reason! Bakuchiol boasts powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, plus is clinically shown to boost collagen and speed up skin renewal, all without Retinol’s side effects.
Why We Love It
We don’t see ageing as a problem to be fixed, laugh lines show you’ve lived! But we also love helping your skin stay strong, smooth and radiant. Bakuchiol offers the best of both worlds: effective results with a gentler, natural touch.
Oh, and unlike Retinol, it’s safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. Big win for mums! Bakuchiol also won't make your skin more sensitive to the sun either, but we still back daily SPF!
This 5-star formula blends 1% Bakuchiol with Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Natural Vitamin E, Phospholipids and Glycolipids to hydrate, soothe and nourish. We use an advanced liposome delivery system, which carries the ingredients deep into the skin, ensuring they reach the layers where they can work most effectively.
The result? A silky serum that does the hard work without irritation.
How To Use Bakuchiol
Apply daily, morning or night, to clean, damp skin, then follow with your favourite Face Cream.
If you’re a Retinol fan, Bakuchiol can complement your routine on off days. Using them together (or alternating between both) can give you the best of both worlds: effective anti-ageing without excessive irritation (so long as you're not pregnant, breastfeeding or a tween).
