A small study in ‘the British Journal of Dermatology found that bakuchiol (pronounced buh-koo-chee-owl) was as effective as retinol at eliminating fine lines and improving skin tone, but with less peeling and burning.’ Continue reading below to find out more about how our two bakuchiol products may be a solution for natural anti-aging.
Many refer to Vitamin A beauty products as retinoids. The name retinol because it produces the pigments in the retina of the eye. They are also one of the most researched anti-aging ingredients.
The function of Vitamin A is to help support; bones, muscles and skin. For those looking for a more youthful complexion, retinoids frequently dominate the conversation when discussing the most effective solution (aside from surgery or aesthetic treatments, that is). They are tried and tested, often producing noticeable results fairly quickly.
However, some find that their skin is too sensitive to use retinol. That is when Bakuchiol, nature’s alternative, may be a more suitable solution. Similar to retinoids, Bakuchiol may stimulate collagen production and it is known to produce less side effects.
Bakuchiol tends to be positioned at an affordable price point too, in comparison to retinols. A great solution for price sensitive, natural focused consumers.
How do they work, we hear you ask? It is thought they promote the production of collagen, a substance that naturally declines as we age, therefore your skin appears smoother and more youthful.
Bakuchiol is extracted from the seeds of Psoralea Corylifolia; a plant grown in India, that has roots (excuse the pun) in traditional Ayurvedic teachings and can often be combined with extracts of rose for added benefits.
Our Bakuchiol Serum contains a 1% concentration and is a vegan alternative to retinol. Its gentle formula is suitable for all skin types.
You can use Bakuchiol Serum both morning and night, after cleansing. We recommend following with our Bakuchiol Face Cream for intense moisturisation.
Our Bakuchiol Face Cream has been formulated to aid hydration and help reduce inflammation. It contains high quality ingredients, such as green tea extract and avocado that contain antioxidant properties. It also contains the ever-popular hyaluronic acid, that keeps the skin soft and supple.
PLEASE NOTE
With all our products, we recommend carrying out a patch test first, at least 24 hours before using. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children and away from direct sunlight.
