ZeroZero organic bakuchiol face oil, your questions answered
Q1. What is bakuchiol and why is it in this face oil?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active often described as a natural alternative to retinol. It supports smoother texture, more even tone, and collagen production, generally without the irritation that retinol can cause.
This formula pairs it with squalane, prickly pear seed oil, and sea buckthorn fruit oil for antioxidant support and long-term skin resilience.
Q2. Can I use it during the day like retinol requires avoiding?
Yes. The formula is gentle enough for daily use, including daytime, unlike retinol which typically needs evening-only application due to photosensitivity.
Q3. What is the full ingredient list?
Squalane, Bakuchiol, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Seed Oil (certified organic prickly pear), and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil (certified organic sea buckthorn). Five ingredients, nothing else.
Q4. What is the Eyehouse Eye Friendly Rating for this product?
Checked against our EFR criteria, this formula clears every Silver exclusion and every additional Gold exclusion, no synthetic fragrance, no formaldehyde releasing preservatives, no parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no petrochemicals, no PEGs, and none of the five ingredients appear on the EU SCCS list of fragrance allergens. It is formulated for the face, neck, and décolletage rather than for direct application to the eyelid or immediate eye area.
Q5. How do I use it?
Apply 2 to 3 drops to slightly damp skin and press in gently, focusing on areas needing extra care. Use alone for a lighter finish or under your moisturiser for more coverage.
Q6. Does it feel greasy or heavy?
No. Squalane is lightweight and fast absorbing, and the overall formula is designed to feel silky rather than oily or leave residue.
Q7. Where does it sit in a full skincare routine?
Cleanse, apply serum if you use one, then this face oil, then moisturiser to seal it in, followed by SPF in the morning. It is a treatment step rather than a replacement for your moisturiser.
Q8. Is it made in Australia?
Yes. Made in Melbourne using certified organic ingredients where noted.
