This is not a moisturiser with a token amount of bakuchiol added for marketing. It is formulated at the clinically studied 1% concentration — the level at which bakuchiol has been shown to genuinely stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell renewal through the same pathways as retinol. Built on a waterless base of squalane, jojoba and rosehip, with beeswax and tapioca for texture and frankincense for additional anti-ageing support. No water to dilute the actives. No synthetic fragrance. Nothing that doesn't belong on mature skin.
Squalane — Weightless and identical in structure to a compound your skin produces naturally and loses with age. Deeply moisturising, barrier-strengthening and the ideal carrier for every active in this formula.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride — Derived from coconut, this lightweight emollient gives the cream its smooth, fast-absorbing texture. Enhances the delivery of actives into the skin without any greasy residue.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil — Mimics the skin's own sebum more closely than almost any other plant ingredient. Balances, absorbs quickly and drives actives deeper into the skin.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil — High in linoleic acid, which is essential for maintaining a healthy skin barrier. Mature skin is often deficient in linoleic acid, making this a particularly relevant inclusion.
Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil — Rich in essential fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamin A. Supports cell renewal, fades pigmentation and repairs barrier function over time.
Cetyl Alcohol — A fatty alcohol derived from plant sources that gives this cream its body and slip. Despite the name, it is not a drying alcohol — it is an emollient that contributes to the satin finish of the formula.
Manihot Esculenta (Tapioca) Starch — Creates the lightweight, powdery skin feel that makes this cream wear beautifully under makeup. Absorbs any excess oil and leaves skin with a naturally refined finish.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil — Rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid with documented anti-inflammatory properties. Contributes to the conditioning, smoothing effect of the formula on fine lines and texture.
Bakuchiol — The hero. Clinically shown to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell renewal through the same biological pathways as retinol — without irritation, peeling or sun sensitivity. Safe for daily use morning and evening. Formulated here at the full 1% clinically studied concentration.
Cera Alba (Beeswax) — Creates a breathable protective layer on the skin that locks in moisture and actives without clogging pores. Gives the cream its structure and contributes to its long-lasting effect on the skin.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) — Neutralises free radical damage and protects the integrity of the oils in this formula. Supports skin healing and reduces the appearance of uneven texture over time.
Boswellia Serrata (Frankincense) Oil — Supports cell regeneration, reduces inflammation and improves skin elasticity. A particularly effective complement to bakuchiol in a formula targeting loss of firmness and fine lines.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil — Added in small amounts for its calming, anti-inflammatory properties. Also contributes a subtle, clean scent that is entirely natural — no synthetic fragrance.
Cedrus Atlantica (Cedarwood) Bark Oil — Supports skin cell regeneration and has mild astringent properties that help refine the appearance of pores and improve skin tone over time.
