Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles With Natural Retinol-Alternative Bakuchiol

Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles With Natural Retinol-Alternative Bakuchiol

Posted 06.04.2023


When it comes to taking care of the delicate skin around our eyes, we want to make sure we're using products that are gentle, effective, and safe.

Considering that it is one of the first places to show signs of premature ageing, it’s no surprise that many reach for an anti-ageing eye cream (i.e., those containing Retinol). However, Retinol is known to be irritating and is not a natural ingredient, which can be a deal breaker for many. Before you decide to completely ditch the idea of an anti-ageing eye cream, allow us to introduce to you Bakuchiol – the plant-based Retinol alternative. The star ingredient in our Bakuchiol Restoring Eye Cream.


What is Bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a plant extract derived from the babchi plant, which has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It has been dubbed the "natural Retinol" because it works in a similar way to Retinoids but without the harsh side effects. Bakuchiol has been shown to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even out skin tone.

So, why did we choose Bakuchiol for our Eye Cream? Firstly, it's gentle and safe for sensitive skin. Retinol can be irritating and drying for some, but Bakuchiol has been shown to be well-tolerated by all skin types. Bakuchiol is also safe for expectant mothers who want to avoid using Retinol during pregnancy, as well as breastfeeding mothers.


Now, let's take a deep dive into the benefits of our Bakuchiol Restoring Eye Cream.

Hydrates the eye area 

Our Eye Cream contains Hyaluronic Acid which hydrates and plumps the skin. Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, so it's great for smoothing out fine lines and adding a dewy glow.

Soothes and de-puffs

Anti-inflammatory Elderflower Extract can help to soothe puffy, tired eyes. It's also rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the skin against environmental damage.

Improves elasticity

Our UK grown seeds oil blend consisting of Rapeseed, Blackcurrant, Borage, Crambe, and Camelina is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, which help to strengthen the skin's barrier and improve elasticity to keep skin plump and youthful.

Firms skin

A high percentage of plant derived Sepilift DPHP helps to firm and tighten the skin around the eye area which minimises wrinkles and fine lines. It also has moisturising properties, so it helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Reduces irritation and redness

Our unique soothing complex of Chamomile, Cornflower, and Lavender work together to calm and soothe the skin, reducing redness and irritation.

Together, these ingredients make the Bakuchiol Restoring Eye Cream a powerhouse of hydration, nourishment, and restoration for the delicate skin around our eyes.

Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe puffy eyes, or simply give your under-eye area a boost of hydration, our Eye Cream is a great option. Plus, with its natural and gentle formula, it's a safe choice for anyone with sensitive skin or expectant mothers who want to avoid Retinol.
