Enriched with Bakuchiol. A plant-based, vegan-friendly retinol alternative, bakuchiol helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines to help make skin look firmer and smoother. Point of difference: Hempz has paired bakuchiol with their signature ingredient, hemp seed oil. Nature’s most perfectly balanced oil, it moisturizes, protects, heals, and calms skin while delivering anti-aging benefits.

So, what exactly is Bakuchiol? It’s a plant-based, vegan-friendly ingredient that offers a gentler alternative to retinol. Derived from the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant, bakuchiol is found in India. This ingredient is climbing in popularity and will hit the mass market next year, thanks to the rising plant-based beauty trend.

Benefits:

• Similar powers as retinol, but with less irritation.
