What is Bakuchiol + Why It Is A Great Retinol Alternative

You might know of OWN Skin Co. and you might also know about our amazing skincare formulated for even the most sensitive skin, with our star ingredient, Grass Fed & Finished Canadian Beef Tallow.

But did you also know that we formulate our skincare with many other, amazing, natural and powerhouse ingredients?

We're on a mission to create natural skincare options that are truly clean and free from MANY common "nasties". This quest has led us to a new (and popular) ingredient called BAKUCHIOL.

There are many skincare options out there that feature Retinol (a vitamin A derivative) and it is widely loved by many people for it's ability to deliver results by boosting collagen production and decreasing the the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Retinol, however, is not always tollerated well with sensitive skin. Enter the new hero ingredient, BAKUCHIOL!

Bakuchiol is a plant derived, natural Retinol alternative, that functions very similarly to Retinol - but it's tolerated much better, even for sensitive skin. Bakuchiol increases cell turnover, stimulates collagen production and it has the amazing properties of decreasing fine lines, firming skin and decreasing the appearance of dark spots or hyperpigmentation.

Backuchiol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory + antibacterial properties. Used along with Tallow, they make one powerhouse duo.

OWN SKIN CO.'s Bakuchiol Serum not only features Bakuchiol but it spotlights a few more amazing ingredients including:

  • Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil: anti-oxidant properties that nurture and protect the skin, improves the elasticity of skin. Rich in Vitamin E + K.
  • Prickly Pear Seed Oil: High in essential fatty acids, Omega 6 + 9, as well as rich in Vitamin E. Amino acid profile promotes collagen production.
  • Frankincense: A famous staple - anti-inflammatory, skin healing and rejuvenating

Our Bakuchiol Serum is suitable for all skin types; dry, combination, normal and even sensitive skin.

For best results follow the Bakuchiol Serum with Tallow Whip or Tallow Balm!
