Bakuchiol – A plant-based alternative to retinol, the first of its kind of natural origin. Bakuchiol reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves elasticity. Bakuchiol is stable in sunlight, and it does not increase the skin’s sun sensitiveness. It has antioxidant properties, nourishes, soothes, and brightens the skin and it evens skin tone without peeling, redness or irritation commonly associated with retinol use. Also, Bakuchiol is a great alternative to retinol for pregnant women looking to maintain their skincare routine without compromising safety for themselves or their babies.

Liquid vitamin C (ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) – a stabilised oil-soluble vitamin C derivative that exhibits excellent percutaneous absorption and effectively converts into free vitamin C in the skin, increasing UV photoprotection, helping to reduce sun damage, and lightening dark spots and discolorations.

Certified organic rosehip oil (Rosa eglanteria oil) – Rosehip is known as the healing oil as it is rich in antioxidants (vitamins A, C and lycopene) and essential fatty acids and as such is able to help lock moisture into the skin.

Propolis — A powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavone that calms irritated skin, supports healing and defends against photoageing.
