NEW Bakuchiol Cream - Your natural Retinol alternative.

For years, Retinol has been the gold standard for tackling visible signs of ageing and re creating a youthful glow.  But sometimes the truth is your skin isn’t ready for it and it can be too harsh and damaging. 

Great news! There’s a skin friendly alternative that offers similar skin-renewing benefits. And there's no downsides. Let us introduce you to our newest recruit: Bakuchiol Cream.

Are you looking for a fresh, radiant complexion? Without redness, peeling, or irritation? This game-changing formula delivers all the age-defying perks of Retinol, minus the harsh side effects.

✔ smooths fine lines & wrinkles – without dryness or irritation

✔ enhances skin texture & firmness – for a lifted, radiant look

✔ boosts skin’s resilience – strengthens the barrier for long-term hydration and glow

✔ anti-inflammatory – calms, soothes and decongests, sensitive and acne prone skin

✔ reduces breakouts – balances oil gland activity which leads to fewer blocked pores

In a nutshell: Bakuchiol acts like Retinol. It provides similar age defying and skin clarifying benefits.

"A unique silky texture, not too light, not too heavy. A lovely matte finish and my skin stayed comfortable all day."

Where does Bakuchiol come from?

Bakuchiol (pronounced Buh-koo-chee-ol) is a plant-derived ingredient. It is extracted from the seeds of the Asian Babchi plant.

Bakuchiol V’s Retinol?

Gentle and effective

Retinol is famous for boosting cell turnover and collagen production. It often comes with side effects like redness, peeling and
increased sun sensitivity. Bakuchiol, provides similar skin-renewing benefits without causing irritation. This makes it perfect for sensitive skin. As well as those who struggle with Retinol or Vitamin A intolerance. 

Enriched with nourishing and hydrating ingredients

One common complaint about Retinol is that it can dry your skin. This may lead to red, flaky, uncomfortable skin. The opposite effect to the one you want! Our Bakuchiol Cream contains hydrating, nourishing and soothing ingredients. These keep your skin in great condition.

Safe for daytime use

You should not use Retinol during the day, in sunlight. It is not stable in sunlight, the ingredient breaks down, rendering it
inactive. 

Also, it’s prone to make your skin sensitive to sunlight. Bakuchiol is stable in sunlight and does not cause photosensitivity. This means you can use it morning and night without worrying about extra sun damage. Yet SPF is always a must wear. Take a look at our Daily DNA Defence SPF30 here.

Suitable for all skins

Sensitive, dry, acne-prone, or mature skin. Bakuchiol is a versatile ingredient that works well for everyone. Remember Bakuchiol acts like Retinol. It will deliver all the results, without irritating your skin.

Safe to use during pregnancy and while breast feeding

Retinol (or any retinoic acids) are not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Bakuchiol is a safe alternative.

The million dollar question: Is Bakuchiol better than Retinol?

Bakuchiol is comparable to the results of Retinol. If you want faster results, Retinol is slightly faster.

If you want results and are patient, the gentle effects of Bakuchiol will respect your skin and give you everything that Retinol does. With the benefit of no side effects.

If you are intolerant to Vitamin A in skincare, Bakuchiol is your alternative. It delivers many of the same anti-ageing and skin-renewing benefits without the irritation. This makes it a game-changer for those with sensitive or dry skin.
