Anti-Aging Oil Serum · Bakuchiol · Pregnancy-Safe
Smooth, renew, hydrate — without the irritation.
A nourishing organic oil serum built around Bakuchiol — a plant-based active clinically shown to deliver retinol-like results without the redness, peeling, or sun sensitivity. Wrapped in organic rosehip, jojoba, and evening primrose oils for deep hydration and lasting radiance.
The difference
Retinol works — but at a cost. Irritation, peeling, sun sensitivity, the dreaded "purge" phase, and a long list of contraindications make it impossible for many: pregnant women, sensitive skin, rosacea-prone, anyone with reactive or barrier-compromised skin.
Bakuchiol is the breakthrough alternative. A landmark 2019 clinical study (Dhaliwal et al., British Journal of Dermatology) showed it delivers comparable improvements in fine lines and pigmentation as retinol — with significantly less irritation.
Conceptual illustration of the comparison reported in Dhaliwal et al., 2019 (British Journal of Dermatology) — comparable efficacy, significantly less irritation.
What it does
Bakuchiol stimulates collagen synthesis and accelerates cell turnover — clinically comparable to retinol, without the irritation.
Bakuchiol paired with vitamin C-rich rosehip oil gradually lifts hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, and uneven tone over 6–8 weeks.
Five organic plant oils flood dry, mature skin with moisture and seal it in — the kind of nourishment water-based serums can't match.
No redness, no peeling, no breakout phase. Gentle enough for daily use even on rosacea-prone or reactive skin.
No retinol, no salicylic acid, no contraindicated actives. One of the few anti-aging treatments safe through every trimester.
Cold-pressed raspberry and blueberry seed oils protect skin from pollution and free radicals — the silent agers retinol can't touch.

What's inside
Extracted from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia. The only botanical clinically shown to deliver retinol-comparable results — boosting collagen, smoothing fine lines, evening tone — without binding to the same skin receptors that cause retinol's irritation.
Naturally rich in vitamin C and trans-retinoic acid. Helps fade dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven pigmentation while delivering essential fatty acids for plumper, more elastic skin.
Mimics your skin's natural sebum almost perfectly. Balances oil production, softens dry patches, and forms a breathable layer that holds active ingredients close to the skin without clogging pores.
Rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) — an omega-6 fatty acid the body can't make on its own. Calms reactivity, restores barrier function, and revitalises dry or hormonally-shifting skin.
Cold-pressed and packed with polyphenols, vitamins A and E, and natural sun-protective compounds. Defend the skin against pollution, blue light, and free-radical damage that quietly accelerate visible ageing.
Certified organic. 100% natural origin. Learn more about ECOCERT COSMOS.

What customers say
★★★★★
"My skin is so dry it crackles in winter. Most retinol alternatives I've tried sit on the surface and do nothing. This oil sinks in completely overnight — I wake up to skin that feels nourished, not just treated. Six weeks in and the lines around my eyes are visibly softer."
★★★★★
"Pregnant and devastated to give up my retinol. My midwife mentioned bakuchiol and I found this. The oil texture feels incredible — like a facial massage every night. My skin looks better now at 6 months pregnant than it did before. Buying again."
★★★★★
"Rosacea-prone for 20 years. Retinol triggered flare-ups every time I tried. This has been life-changing — proper anti-ageing without my skin going red. The smell is gentle and earthy, the dropper makes application clean, and I genuinely look forward to my evening routine now."
Asked & answered
Both are gentle, plant-powered alternatives to retinol — but they have different textures and ideal users. This Bakuchiol Oil Serum is rich and oil-based, ideal for drier skin or those who prefer one nourishing step. Our Bidens Pilosa Serum is water-based with hyaluronic acid — a lighter, fast-absorbing finish for normal to combination skin. Many customers use both: lighter Bidens Pilosa in the morning, richer Bakuchiol oil at night.
Yes. Bakuchiol is one of the few anti-ageing actives considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding — it doesn't bind to the same skin receptors as retinol. The full formula is also free of salicylic acid and synthetic fragrance. Always check with your doctor before introducing any new product during pregnancy.
Most people feel softer, more nourished skin from the very first night. Visible improvements in fine lines and tone typically appear at 4–6 weeks. Full results at 8–12 weeks of consistent nightly use.
Yes. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is photostable — it won't increase sun sensitivity. You can apply it morning and night. For daytime use, follow with SPF 30+ as you would with any anti-ageing routine.
No. Jojoba oil mimics the skin's own sebum, which means oily skin actually produces less when balanced. The formula is non-comedogenic and absorbs without leaving a heavy residue. For very oily or acne-prone skin, our water-based Bidens Pilosa serum may be a better starting point.
Yes. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol plays well with everything. Apply lighter water-based serums first (vitamin C, hyaluronic acid), then this oil serum to seal everything in. For AHAs/BHAs, alternate nights for the most comfortable layering.
