Did You Know There is a Plant-Based Alternative to Retinol?

Retinol has long dominated the market as one of the best skincare ingredients to ward off wrinkles and fine lines, correct hyperpigmentation, improve skin texture, unclog pores, fight breakouts, and promote the production of collagen. Until recently, no other active cosmetic ingredient was capable of doing all of the things, especially promote collagen production. While some swear by certain products that contain retinol, for many, this ingredient causes dryness, flaking, and redness. Retinol is a potent chemical derivative from vitamin A and is not suitable for all skin types, especially if you have sensitive skin or are pregnant. 

Bakuchiol is the new rave! This botanical extract comes from the seeds and leaves of the babchi plant, which has long been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It is the only extract that has been scientifically proven to do what retinol does but without the dry, red, or flaky skin side effect that some experience when using retinol. Bakuchiol is an excellent alternative for those who are seeking plant-based skin and beauty products, have sensitive skin, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding. 

 

Other active plant-based ingredients that you should look for when looking for your perfect skin care products are beta-carotene, calendula, black cumin seed, grapeseed, moringa, rosehip, and shea butter. The same way that your body needs specific vitamins and minerals to function properly, your skin needs to be adequately supplemented too if you want your skin to age gracefully. This is where extracts like Bakuchiol come in! 

 

Your skin needs to be cleansed, exfoliated, moisturized, protected and nurtured. Everyone has a different skin profile, and different skin types require different vitamins, minerals, and extracts. If anti-aging is the name of your skin care game, high-quality products that contain retinol or bakuchiol can do wonders. These two potent ingredients can help reverse the wear of time on your skin and slow down the appearance of aging.
