OVERVIEW

This lightweight moisturizer has hydrating properties that help minimize dryness and botanicals that control excess oil. Clinical studies on bakuchiol and bidens pilosa extract demonstrated significant retinol-like activity. These studies, conducted on age-associated and impure skin showed a positive effect in relation to hydration and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

Black currant and pine

Studies show an organic, fermented blend of black currant and pine needle can help promote balanced, healthy-looking skin. Initial screening was performed in vitro, and measured the extract against bacterial cultures to estimate organism counts.

Bakuchiol

Research shows bakuchiol extract may have a retinol-like activity on the skin when applied twice daily. One study compared results from topical application of bakuchiol and retinol after 12 weeks, and found many of the same benefits without the harsh effects that may occur with retinol.
