bakuchiol is the retinol alternative your sensitive-af skin needs.
if you’re not skin obsessed, retinol is basically the wholly grail in the skincare world: it smooths fine lines and wrinkles, treats acne, fades dark spots, and brightens dull skin. phew, almost lost my breath there!
anyway, retinol has everything to be the messiah, saving us all from skin misery.
well, not quite...retinol is also very harsh, especially if you’ve got dry and sensitive skin.
enters bakuchiol: the plant-based ingredient that mimics the glow-boosting and skin-smoothing effects of retinol, minus the irritating side effects. in short, this stuff is a gentler natural alternative to retinol but still packs a strong punch.
Ps. the colour is from mixing carrot seed oil, another rejuvenating oil, with tansy blue (flower)
ingredients
phytosqualane (olive squalane), bakuchiol, daucus carota, helianthus anuus seed oil (carrot infusion), tanacetum annuum (tansy blue)
how to use
our boosters are like supplements for your skin. you can add them to your daily regimen as standalone products or mix them with other products to improve their performance. use got it like that anytime of day. mix with serums, creams or masks, and apply to face and neck. or, apply 2-3 drops directly to your skin.
unlike conventional retinol, bakuchiol doesn’t increase your sensitivity to sunlight. you can use daily or as often as needed.
