Bakuchiol, the natural alternative to retinol, and why we love it.
It's called Bakuchiol and it's perhaps the best-kept secret of... skincare organic. That's because the Bakuchiol is the safest and gentlest natural alternative to Retinol , offering all the benefits associated with that ingredient but without the risks. It's suitable for all skin types and tones and can be used in any season, even during the day.
Perfect for even the most sensitive skin (but equally beneficial for "normal" skin) and for evening out skin tone by combating hyperpigmentation, Bakuchiol is a powerful botanical active ingredient with anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that helps soothe, care for, and regenerate the skin.

What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a botanical active ingredient extracted from the leaves and seeds of the plant. Psoralea corylifolia , also known as "batchi," grows in Asian forests and has been used for millennia in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine.
A true beauty concentrate, Bakuchiol helps reduce hyperpigmentation and diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and other effects of photoaging on the skin, such as age spots. It is a powerful anti-aging agent that naturally stimulates collagen production, plumping the skin, smoothing its texture, and restoring its density, elasticity, and firmness.
Benefits of Bakuchiol for the skin
Directly from nature, Bakuchiol has immense benefits, from restoring elasticity to the skin, to visibly reducing the signs of photoaging, and improving acne due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It does everything Retinol does, but without drying out or irritating the skin.
It's truly wonderful, and these are some of the proven benefits of Bakuchiol:
1. Evens out skin texture and tone: the Bakuchiol penetrates deep into the skin to reduce blemishes and other signs of hyperpigmentation.
2. Reduces fine lines: Like retinol, but natural, backuchiol acts on cells by stimulating regeneration and collagen production, and plumping the skin.
3. It does not dry out the skin or cause irritation. Unlike Retinol and other artificial ingredients, Bakuchiol is gentle on the skin. Therefore, it is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
4. Accelerates cell regeneration: the Bakuchiol “tells” the cells that it’s time to produce more collagen and regenerate.
5. Perfect for all skin types: Even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and even during the day.
6. Helps treat and soothe the skin: Because it promotes cell regeneration and helps combat hyperpigmentation, resulting in even, healthy, and luminous skin.

Side effects? None.
Dermatologists have embraced the benefits of Bakuchiol, and no studies are known to indicate negative side effects. Bakuchiol is a botanical active ingredient that, unlike Retinol, can be used even on more sensitive skin, and as far as is known, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
How to use
Since its adoption in Western skincare, bakuchiol has been applied topically in serums, lotions, and creams. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is non-irritating, so it can be applied morning and night for maximum effectiveness.
And because it's 100% natural and doesn't interact with other ingredients, it can be used with other products. And since it doesn't make the skin more sensitive, bakuchiol can be applied in the morning and used throughout the day (even without forgetting the essential sunscreen).
Combined with other ingredients, its effect is multiplied. That's what we did in our Radiant line.
