BAKUCHIOL PEPTIDES™

Description

 A plant-based, clinically proven alternative to vitamin A, ideal for those with sensitive skin or for use when pregnant or breastfeeding*. Whilst 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. Able to prevent and restore premature ageing, it helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Bakuchiol’s ability to minimise melanin synthesis is combined with blocking the inflammatory pathways within the skin, resulting in a visibly calmed and even skin tone. 

Suitable for sensitive skin types

Key Benefits:

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
• Improves overall skin texture and tone
• Plant-based
• Free from parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, alcohol & cruelty

• Bakuchiol - A clinically proven alternative to retinol, bakuchiol helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production, smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Incredibly gentle, it is suitable for those that cannot usually tolerate vitamin A.
• Brightening Peptide Precursors - A lipo-amino acid that can penetrate the natural skin barrier with ease. They stop the action of MSH (melanin stimulating hormone), therefore blocking the production of melanin, for a visibly brighter and even skin tone.
  
• Centella Asiatica - A naturally-derived anti-inflammatory with incredible wound healing benefits on the skin.
• Inka Omega Oil - One of the highest, organic sources of omegas among natural seeds. The natural oil can slip into the gaps between skin cells in the stratum corneum to restore the skin’s natural barrier and block moisture loss.

 * Due to ethical considerations the Bakuchiol Peptides formula has not been tested on pregnant women, but there is nothing in the formula which is known to be an issue (eg vitamin A or high levels of exfoliating acids). If you are at all concerned, always consult your doctor.
