Bakuchiol Blend: Plant-Based Retinol Alternative – 100% Vegan & Natural

Your skin will fall in love with the results from our Bakuchiol Blend Spot Treatment. Our powerhouse skin healing trio focuses on delivering key nutrients for pro-aging, skin texture, and inflammation from cystic acne. 

Our plant-based alternative to retinol is gentle on the skin, traveling deep into the epidermis enhancing skin firmness. Our hydrating oil refines the appearance of pores by increasing cell turnover and dissolving impurities that give the skin an oversized perception. These impurities are in the form of dirt, bacteria, dead skin cells, and excess sebum.

Why Babchi and Not Only Bakuchiol Molecule?

Bakuchiol is extracted from the star of the show, the Babchi Seed. It is then synthesized in a chemical factory to use in formulations; however, if natural and organic are your forte, then I’d recommend staying away from Bakuchiol altogether. Now on the other hand, the Babchi seed contains many different compounds, and as a whole serve the skin many benefits which is why we utilize the whole seed in our oil. 

What Is The Difference Between Babchi and Retinol?

Retinol, which is often synthetically sourced from fish, liver, and egg sources is a Vitamin A derivative that is commonly known to cause burning, blistering, stinging, and swelling of the skin. The role of retinol is to stimulate cellular activity and collagen production that help with healthy aging. It also strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier to avoid loss of moisture. Babchi is not a Vitamin A derivative because it is a seed that works similarly to retinol; however, is not a retinol. Over a 16 week period, Babchi produced the same healthy aging effects as retinol, but without the irritation.

How To Use

Warm up face oil (up to half a dropper) in your palms before taking time to massage into skin. Work in an upward and outward fluid motion, using a soft tapping motion to ensure oil is evening distributed. Use at night after cleansing. This product works best as the final step in your routine.
