Smoother-looking lines with plant bakuchiol

A fast-absorbing 30 ml facial oil serum blending bakuchiol with organic jojoba, rosehip and evening primrose oils for smoother-looking, supple skin.

Visible benefits

Texture & pores

  • Fast-absorbing oil finish — lightweight plant esters sink in quickly without leaving a greasy or heavy residue.
  • Fast-absorbing, non-greasy feel — light plant-derived emollients.

Barrier & protection

  • Helps limit moisture loss — jojoba oil forms a light, non-greasy layer close to the skin’s own sebum.
  • Antioxidant care — vitamin E (tocopherol) helps protect the formula and the skin’s surface lipids.

Radiance

  • A radiant, even-looking complexion — rosehip oil.

What the science says

Bakuchiol — In lab skin models bakuchiol behaved very much like retinol. In a 12-week study of 0.5% bakuchiol cream against 0.5% retinol cream, both significantly reduced wrinkle surface area and the look of dark spots, with no statistical difference between them; retinol users reported more flaking and stinging. In a 12-week facial-use study, lines and wrinkles, dark spots, elasticity and firmness all looked significantly better. [1][2]

Jojoba seed oil — Research describes jojoba 'oil' as a liquid wax made of long-chain esters, widely used in moisturisers and sunscreens for skin feel and softness. [3]

The cited bakuchiol studies used 0.5% bakuchiol creams; we do not know how our serum compares, since bakuchiol sits seventh in an oil base of organic jojoba, rosehip and evening primrose oils. Tocopherol (position 8) is an antioxidant protecting the oils. Blueberry seed oil and the scent ingredients come after the fragrance, so they are small amounts. We quote no study on our serum and make no claim about sun sensitivity.

These are published studies on the ingredients, not tests of this product. Study concentrations and formulas differ from ours; individual results vary.
