Designed to help promote a more youthful-looking complexion, the lightweight serum harnesses the gentle power of 1.25% pure bakuchiol.
Targets Signs of Ageing: Bakuchiol Peptides helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture and tone. Visibly plumped and supple, the skin is left feeling soft and smooth.
Soothing on the Skin: The conditioning serum is incredibly soothing and calming on the skin, helping to visibly reduce any visible redness.
Perfect for Expecting & Nursing Mums: A clinically proven alternative to retinol that is ideal for those that can’t use vitamin A - e.g. when pregnant or nursing* as it is not recommended during this time.
Photostable: Bakuchiol Peptides can be used both day and night, for accelerated visible anti-ageing results.
Bakuchiol is a clinically proven alternative to retinol; while molecularly it has no structural resemblance to retinoids, a recent study by the British Journal of Dermatology has found that bakuchiol is comparable to retinol in anti-ageing effects, and is better tolerated than retinol (read our blog to find out more). Containing 1.25% pure bakuchiol, Bakuchiol Peptides is the perfect alternative for those who cannot use vitamin A.
Bakuchiol is able to improve the visible signs of premature skin ageing. This can result in a visible calmed, even and youthful-looking complexion.
Brightening peptide precursors penetrate the skin with ease, resulting in a visibly brighter, more even complexion with less visible hyperpigmentation.
Centella asiatica helps to visibly sooth and calm sensitive skin showing signs of irritation.
Inka omega oil is rich in omegas 3, 6 and 9, and is able to slip into the gaps in the stratum corneum to restore the skin's natural barrier and block moisture loss.
While bakuchiol naturally has short-term photostability, meaning it can be used day and night, the formula has also been optimised for true long-term photostability; contained in a UV-protected glass bottle and infused with photo-stabiliser krameria triandra root extract within the formula.
“Bakuchiol has short-term photostability, therefore it can be used in the morning throughout the day. However, through laboratory testing we have discovered that bakuchiol loses its activity when exposed to sunlight over a period of a few months. Therefore, we have taken a dual-actioned preventative approach to keeping our formula stable in the long-term. Bakuchiol Peptides is housed in a UV-protected glass bottle, to protect the formula from photooxidation which can eventually cause a significant loss in performance. The UV-light stabilising coating on the bottle targets the UV rays before they can cause any damage, absorbing the highly energetic UV light and then dissipating the energy. Photo-stabiliser krameria triandra root extract on the other hand, works to absorb any UV which penetrates through the packaging, protecting the bakuchiol molecule within the formula.”
