What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is an oil extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Babchi plant. Similar to retinoids, bakuchiol works by stimulating collagen producing receptors in the skin.
This oil- based serum is packed with skin loving ingredients that provide a rich and potent source of antioxidants to help protect skin against environmental damage.
