Powered by bakuchiol, nature’s alternative to retinol, and enriched with squalane and seven lightweight botanical oils, this facial oil is a potent antioxidant blend that helps fight signs of ageing, stimulate collagen production, brighten, and rejuvenate for healthy, glowing skin.
Found in the leaves and seeds of the Ayurvedic babchi plant, bakuchiol (pronounced ba-koo-chi-ol) is a powerful bioactive gentle enough even for the most sensitive skin types, and is the ultimate plant-based alternative for vitamin A retinoids without the irritating, drying side effects.

Why 0.5%? Research has shown that concentrations of bakuchiol between 0.5-2% are ideal to get visible benefits and that bakuchiol used at 0.5% twice daily performed similarly to 0.5% retinol once daily for wrinkle reduction and reducing hyperpigmentation. As is often the case, more is not always better. We believe you should aim for a target concentration of 0.5% for daily use, despite it being a less popular option.
How to Use
Each evening after cleansing, toning and moisturising, gently press 2-3 drops into the face & neck.
Although bakuchiol hasn’t been shown to increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight like retinol, we recommend it is best applied at night and introduced slowly, especially if you have sensitive skin. While bakuchiol is positioned as a gentler alternative to retinol, it can still cause some irritation, itching, and redness.
If irritation occurs discontinue use. Store below 30°C.
