The Natural Retinol Alternative you Need

If you’re looking for a natural and vegan retinol alternative, then you’ll definitely love Bakuchiol. 


We’ll give you 5 reasons why your skin will absolutely love it... But first things first:

What is Bakuchiol? 


Bakuchiol, also known as Psoralea Corylfolia, is an active plant-based ingredient that has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine. 

Recent research shows that Bakuchiol gives the same results as retinol but without the drying, peeling or irritation that often comes with retinol use.

Ageing skin is natural and inevitable, but there's nothing wrong with taking care of your skin and using ingredients that help slow down the ageing clock and give you youthful glow for longer.



1. Reduces the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles

Bakuchiol works in the same way as retinol, 'telling' your cells to make collagen and reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. In a 2019 study, no difference was found between retinol and bakuchiol in treating wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. 


Other studies have also reported improvement in lines/wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity and firmness with bakuchiol. 

2. Even skin tone

Acne scars, sunspots, and uneven skin tone can be a real problem. Bakuchiol deeply penetrates the skin to help lessen the appearance of dark spots or areas of hyperpigmentation. 


3. Speeds up skin cell regeneration

Like retinol, Bakuchiol works by increasing cell-turnover - this stimulates collagen and elastin production and gives skin a brighter, clearer appearance. 


Bakuchiol sends signals to your cells that it's time to ramp up collagen production and cell turnover. By doing this, it helps soothe and heal your skin from the inside out. 


4. Doesn't cause dryness or irritation

While retinol and other harsh ingredients that are still used in many beauty products dry out the skin or cause irritation, Bakuchiol is more gentle and isn't known to cause any irritation. 


5. Suitable for all skin types

Bakuchiol is much more gentle than retinol, meaning that it can be used even by people who have sensitive skin. 


Why should I use it? 

If you're looking for a natural retinol alternative or if you have dry, sensitive skin, then Bakuchiol will help you to achieve the same results, without the irritation. 

Plus, unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is safe to use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding &  you can also apply Bakuchiol morning and evening since it doesn't cause photosensitivity. 

Just like Bakuchiol, our Rose Youth Elixir is brimming with youth-boosting nutrients that improve skin's appearance and help you turn back the clocks.
