WHY OUR FORMULAS WORK
Bakuchiol Extract
Considered the gold standard of plant-based retinol alternatives, multiple clinical studies show how this extract has the power to improve skin's tone and texture while promoting cellular repair. Proven to be far more gentle than retinol, Bakuchiol is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin-calming and UV tolerant, yet can provide all the same benefits as retinol.
Skin Brightening
Bakuchiol brightens skin and stimulates cellular turnover, revealing new, fresh, clearer skin. Clinical studies have shown it helps to fade the appearance of dark spots, pigmentation and acne scars, resulting in visibly more even-toned skin.
Smoother, Firmer Skin
This potent (yet gentle) ingredient triggers skin cells to produce several types of collagen, along with it's ability to speed up cellular turnover, leads to firmer, more plump and smooth skin.

Lipid Matrix Complex
Our doctor-formulated skin complex includes 9 various weight humectants and fatty acids blended at specific temperatures and speeds to create a formula that nourishes your skin layer by layer.
Deep Dermal Delivery
The aim of any high-level skincare is to reach the deepest layers of epidermis (where the cells are constantly dividing and multiplying). When we fortify these cells with the proper nutrients, they can reproduce as healthy, plump, hydrated, vibrant cells (that soon rise to the surface). Our formula includes a group of oils and extracts which are the perfect size and weight to rapidly deliver nutrients at the deepest level.
Skin Barrier Protection
Our proprietary blend of carefully sourced and quality tested extracts contain both hydro and lipo-philic qualities (making them more easily absorbed), naturally-occuring Vitamin C, and the ability to stimulate the skin's own ceramide synthesis. Combined, these build and strengthen the lipid barrier that protects and beatifies our skin.
OUR CLEAN PRESERVATION TECHNOLOGY
Our revolutionary formulation process utilizes Molecular Water Activity Technology to protect and preserve the integrity of the ingredients over time, redefining the future of clean beauty.

“…bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoageing and is better tolerated than retinol.”

Bakuchiol For All
How Does Bakuchiol Work On The Skin?
Bakuchiol’s remarkable effects on the skin are primarily due to its ability to mimic the action of retinol, without the harsh side effects. Like retinol, bakuchiol binds to and activates the same receptors in the skin, triggering a cascade of beneficial processes.
However, unlike retinol, bakuchiol does not cause the same level of irritation or increased sun sensitivity. This is because bakuchiol for skin works in a more gentle, natural way, without the harsh, drying effects often associated with retinol-based products.
Bakuchiol’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties also play a key role in its skin-transforming abilities. By neutralizing free radicals and reducing inflammation, it helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors and promotes a healthy, radiant complexion.
