This gentle yet powerful Bakuchiol Moisturiser is designed to hydrate and revitalize delicate skin - especially around the eyes. Formulated with a clinically proven 1.25% concentration of Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, it helps stimulate collagen production, boost skin cell turnover, and soften fine lines without irritation.
Niacinamide (3%) visibly tightens pores and improves skin tone, while kojic acid helps reduce and prevent the appearance of dark circles and age/sun spots. The formula is supported by deeply moisturising Hyaluronic Acid and Olive Squalane, making it ideal for daily use, including on sensitive under-eye skin.
100% Pure Bakuchiol Moisturiser, your questions answered
Q1. What is bakuchiol and how does it compare to retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound extracted from the babchi plant. Clinical research, including a peer-reviewed study in the British Journal of Dermatology, has shown it produces similar results to retinol for reducing fine lines and improving skin tone, with significantly less irritation.
For people who cannot tolerate retinol, particularly around the eye area, bakuchiol is the most evidence-backed natural alternative.
Q2. Can I use it during the day unlike retinol?
Yes. Bakuchiol does not have the same photosensitivity issues as retinol and can be used morning and evening.
Q3. Is it safe near the eye area?
Apply to the face and orbital bone. For the eyelid and immediate under-eye, a dedicated eye treatment is more appropriate. Bakuchiol is gentler than retinol but concentrated face products still belong on the face rather than directly on the lid.
Q4. Who is it suited for?
Anyone seeking anti-ageing benefit without retinol's irritation risk. Particularly suited to sensitive, reactive, or periocular-prone skin.
Q5. Is it Leaping Bunny certified?
Yes. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, plant-powered formula.
