What it is
A day cream that does something most day creams cannot: deliver a renewal active. Retinol increases sun sensitivity, which is why it is restricted to evenings - and that leaves the morning half of the routine doing nothing but hydrating.
Bakuchiol changes that. A plant-derived compound from the babchi seed, it supports a similar renewal process to Retinol through a different route, with a gentler profile and, crucially, without increasing sun sensitivity. That makes a morning renewal step genuinely possible.
Alongside it, Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract - Green Caviar, a sea grape harvested in South East Asia - is naturally rich in amino acids and minerals that support the skin's elasticity. It has nothing to do with fish roe, and the formula is entirely vegan. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride nourish, and Glycerin holds moisture.
Key ingredients
Bakuchiol
A plant-derived compound from the babchi seed that supports skin renewal with a gentler profile than Retinol, and without increasing sun sensitivity.
Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract (Green Caviar)
A marine sea grape naturally rich in amino acids and minerals. It supports the skin's elasticity and resilience.
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
A nourishing plant oil rich in fatty acids that helps replenish the skin's lipid barrier.
Glycerin
A moisture-binding humectant that helps prevent the skin from feeling dry or tight through the day.
Gardenia Tahitensis (Tiare Flower) Extract
A conditioning botanical extract that leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
Who it's for
This day cream is ideal for anyone wanting a renewal active in their morning routine, and for anyone who has found Retinol too harsh or who cannot use it - including during pregnancy and breastfeeding, where Bakuchiol does not carry the same restriction.
It suits normal, combination and dry skin. The 30ml size works well for travel or for trying the range before committing to a larger jar. Suitable for sensitive skin thanks to Bakuchiol's gentler profile.
What to expect
Skin feels hydrated and comfortable immediately, with no tingling. Bakuchiol works gradually, like any renewal active: most people notice texture looking smoother and fine lines softer between eight and twelve weeks of consistent daily use.
How to use
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin every morning.
Massage over the face and neck using upward motions until fully absorbed. If you use a serum, apply that first. Always finish your morning routine with SPF - Bakuchiol does not increase sun sensitivity, but sun protection is what preserves any renewal work you do.

Frequently asked questions
Can I really use a renewal active in the morning?
Yes, with Bakuchiol. Unlike Retinol, it does not increase sun sensitivity, which is what makes a morning renewal step possible.
Is Bakuchiol as effective as Retinol?
Bakuchiol supports a similar renewal process with a gentler profile. For anyone who cannot tolerate Retinol, a gentler active used consistently beats a stronger one abandoned after two weeks.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Bakuchiol is not a retinoid, so it does not carry the same restriction. Speak to your healthcare practitioner about any product you are unsure of.
Do I need SPF?
Yes. Bakuchiol does not increase sun sensitivity, but sun protection is what preserves any renewal work you do.
Can I use it alongside a Retinol at night?
Yes, and many people do - Bakuchiol in the morning, Retinol in the evening. Watch for dryness and reduce if needed.
What is Green Caviar?
It is Caulerpa Lentillifera, a sea grape rich in amino acids and minerals. It has nothing to do with fish roe.
Is it vegan?
Yes. All the ingredients in this formula are plant-derived; none are animal-derived.
Is 30ml enough?
Used daily, roughly two months. It is a good size for travel or for trying the range.
Can I use it around my eyes?
You can apply it carefully to the outer eye area, avoiding the lash line and direct contact with the eyes.
Caution:
This is a cosmetic product for external use only, and all results will be temporary; individual results may vary. Carry out a patch test before application, and do not apply to broken, damaged, or sunburnt skin. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. If redness, irritation, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare practitioner. Consult your healthcare practitioner before starting a new skin treatment, or if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. Do not ingest. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place, and keep out of the reach of children.
