Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a natural alternative to retinol but without any of the associated negative side effects, particularly for sensitive skin. A potent antioxidant, it has been clinically demonstrated to reduce hyperpigmentation and address multiple signs of ageing as efficiently as retinol. It can also be used in conjunction with retinol products. It is said to increase skin cell turnover, helping to remove dead skin cells and replace them with new, fresh cells, giving skin an overall smoother and more even skin tone.

Jojoba oil, certified organic
Because jojoba oil so closely resembles skin’s natural sebum (the oil your skin naturally creates) it makes it easy to absorb and helps balance oil production by tricking naturally oily skin into thinking it has produced enough oil. Also very moisturising for dry skin, jojoba is full of nutrients such as vitamin E, as well as antioxidants and minerals like chromium, copper, and zinc, which all nourish and protect skin. Organic, cold-pressed jojoba oil has the highest level of antioxidants and nutrients.
