Plant-based retinol alternative · with macadamia, pomegranate & prickly pear Description A face moisturizer built around bakuchiol — the plant-derived active that's been called nature's answer to retinol. Studies show bakuchiol can support firmer, smoother, more even-looking skin without the dryness and sun-sensitivity associated with traditional retinol. We've paired it with three of the most respected plant oils and extracts in modern skincare: macadamia nut oil for skin-matching nourishment, pomegranate for antioxidant defense, and prickly pear — one of the rarest and most vitamin-E-rich seed extracts in the world — for barrier support. The result: a daily moisturizer that's actively working for your skin while it sits on your nightstand. Hero ingredients Bakuchiol — a plant-derived compound from the Babchi seed, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. Modern research suggests it supports collagen production and improves the look of fine lines and uneven tone — often compared to retinol, but better tolerated by sensitive skin Macadamia nut oil — closest plant match to your skin's own sebum; absorbs cleanly and adds a subtle softness without greasiness Pomegranate extract — rich in ellagic acid and polyphenol antioxidants; supports skin against environmental stress Prickly pear seed extract — one of the most vitamin-E-dense plant oils available; supports the skin barrier and helps maintain elasticity Glycerin & propylene glycol — humectants that draw moisture into the skin and hold it there How to use After cleansing and toner, smooth a pea-sized amount over face and neck in upward strokes. Pat any excess into the skin rather than rubbing. Allow 60 seconds to absorb before applying additional products. When to use Once daily to start, in the evening only for the first 2 weeks. As your skin adjusts, you can move to morning and evening use. Always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using this product — like retinol and bakuchiol, it can make your skin more sun-sensitive, even though it's plant-derived. Best for Adults looking to address fine lines, uneven tone, or general signs of aging. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin that doesn't tolerate retinol. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding — while bakuchiol is plant-derived, the safety data for pregnancy is limited, and most dermatologists recommend avoiding it as a precaution. Important: Patch test before first use. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm, wait 24 hours, and check for redness or irritation before using on the face.
