Bakuchiol
A natural, plant-based alternative to retinol, bakuchiol is derived from the Babchi plant. It offers similar anti-aging benefits without the irritation often associated with traditional retinoids. Bakuchiol helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, boosts collagen production, improves skin texture, and evens skin tone. Unlike retinol, it is gentle enough for sensitive skin and can be used during the day without increasing sun sensitivity. Perfect for those seeking smooth, youthful skin with minimal irritation.
