Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Bakuchiol and how does it work?
Bakuchiol is a 100% plant-derived active ingredient sourced from the babchi plant. It is widely celebrated as a natural, gentle alternative to retinol because it offers the same remarkable anti-ageing benefits—such as stimulating collagen, smoothing fine lines, and improving elasticity—but without causing redness, peeling, or sun sensitivity.
Can I use this product if I have oily or breakout-prone skin?
Yes, absolutely. The formula is built on a base of Jojoba oil and Squalane. Jojoba naturally mimics your skin's own sebum, which tricks oily skin into producing less excess oil. Squalane is highly absorbent and non-comedogenic, meaning it deeply hydrates without clogging your pores.
Do I use this instead of a night cream?
Because this precious oil is incredibly rich and packed with conditioning fatty acids, it can comfortably be used completely on its own as your final evening step. However, if your skin is exceptionally dry, you can layer it directly over your favourite night cream to lock in maximum moisture.
Is it safe to use this oil during the daytime?
While it is specifically formulated as an overnight treatment to complement your skin's natural nighttime repair cycle (and contains calming Lavender to aid sleep), it is perfectly safe to use during the day if your skin requires an extra shield against harsh, cold weather.
