Most face oils are the last step, a little nourishment on top of whatever does the actual treating. This one is both.
Bakuchiol Anti-Ageing Oil holds four actives. Bakuchiol at 1% works on firmness, texture and fine lines, with documented stimulation of the skin's own collagen synthesis. Vitamin C, in a stable oil-soluble form, works on tone and radiance and is documented to reduce age spots and UV-induced pigmentation. Q10 helps protect collagen, and astaxanthin adds antioxidant protection on top. Most people see firmer, smoother skin within 4 to 12 weeks of daily use.
It is no accident that they sit in an oil. All four dissolve in oil rather than water. In an oil they stay stable instead of breaking down. The base is a blend of lightweight plant oils: grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, rosehip, blackcurrant seed and evening primrose, which nourish without leaving skin greasy.
Warm a few drops between your hands and press them onto the skin as your final step, or mix them into your moisturiser. Use it morning or evening.
The oil is fragrance-free and suits every skin type, including sensitive. And because bakuchiol is not a retinoid, it needs no building up and carries none of the restrictions retinoids have during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
98% natural ingredients.

Warm a few drops between your hands and press them gently onto clean skin.
HOW
Use the oil alone as your final step, or mix it into your moisturiser for extra nourishment.
Let the oil absorb fully. It should sink in rather than sit on the surface.
GOOD TO KNOW
Use the oil morning or evening. Once dry, it works under makeup.
Clinically studied ingredients, at the doses we use:
Skin treated with bakuchiol barely reddened after a controlled UV dose, where untreated skin on the same people reddened sharply
Significant improvement in lines, pigmentation, firmness and elasticity over 12 weeks
60 times more effective than vitamin E at stopping lipid peroxidation, in laboratory testing
No irritation recorded over the 12 weeks
UV study: a 1% bakuchiol lotion on 10 subjects for 12 days, then twice the individual minimum erythema dose, read by colorimetry against untreated skin on the same person. The lotion contained no sunscreen, so this is not sun protection. The 12-week study: 0.5%, 16 people completed, assessed by expert grading and silicone replica, with no control group. Results vary from person to person.
Bakuchiol 1%. A plant extract that works on firmness, texture and fine lines the way retinol does, without the irritation and without the pregnancy restrictions.
Vitamin C. As ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, an oil-soluble form that stays stable and works on tone and radiance.
Q10. An antioxidant the skin produces less of with age, helping protect collagen from breaking down.
Astaxanthin. A microalgae antioxidant that adds to the overall antioxidant strength of the oil.
Plant Oil Blend. Grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, rosehip, blackcurrant seed and evening primrose, chosen to nourish without heaviness.

Returns
We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with your purchase, you can start a return in our returns portal within 30 days for a full refund or an exchange.
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean. Glass bottles: glass. Aluminium tubes: metal. The carton: paper.
We are not there yet. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

Why it works
Bakuchiol is not a form of vitamin A, but it acts on many of the same pathways in the skin. That is the whole point: comparable results on lines and firmness, without the conversion steps that make retinoids irritating and without the reason they are avoided in pregnancy.
An oil base is the right home for it. Bakuchiol, vitamin C in its oil-soluble form, Q10 and astaxanthin all dissolve in oil rather than water, so they stay stable and reach the skin intact. It also means the product works as both a treatment and the last nourishing step in a routine.

Bakuchiol
Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)
Q10
From the babchi plant, and the usual answer for skin that cannot tolerate retinol. It works on the same things: fine lines, firmness and elasticity. Its antioxidant properties protect against environmental damage, without the irritation retinol can bring.
A lipid-soluble form of vitamin C, which is how it travels past the surface rather than sitting on it. It brightens the complexion, fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation, promotes collagen synthesis and improves tone and texture. It also calms visible redness, which makes it suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
Coenzyme Q10, an antioxidant. It neutralises free radicals, so the skin takes less of the damage that sun, pollution and time do to it. Q10 also supports the energy production inside skin cells.
