Let's talk about bakuchiol

Retinol here, retinol there... For some time we haven't stopped hearing this word in the world of cosmetics; and it is truly wonderful. But what about bakuchiol ?

Bakuchiol is a component that appears in the world of cosmetics as a vegetable alternative to retinol , its origin is found in a plant called babchi. Provides elasticity, anti-aging, antioxidant, firming, anti-inflammatory effects, corrects spots, stimulates collagen production and regulates sebum secretion . This can be present in creams, serums, eye contours... A wonder, right?

This active ingredient provides effects very similar to those of retinol, but with some advantages:
• It is of plant origin
• Sensitive skin can tolerate it better
• Can be used during the day
• Suitable for pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding

It turns out that with bakuchiol we get rid of the possible "dangers" of retinol, such as irritation. Although everything is said, well used retinol is a very powerful and effective highly recommended ally.
