This naturally derived retinol alternative formulated with Organic Squalane and Vitamin E can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pores, and blemishes and target hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone while sealing in hydration. Bakuchiol (pronounced Bu-koo-chee-owl) is a natural alternative to retinol, a Vitamin A based element that supports skin turnover and collagen production. Bakuchiol has very similar traits but it is gentle on the skin without causing redness and irritation. Derived from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia) and rooted in healing, Bakuchiol has a long tradition in Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines to cure various skin diseases. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it is also known for its ability to help heal, calm, and soothe the skin.
