What is Bakuchiol and how is it different from retinol?
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound extracted from the seeds of the Babchi plant. It delivers the same anti-aging benefits as retinol including reducing fine lines, improving skin tone, and boosting collagen production but without any of the irritation, peeling, or sun sensitivity that comes with traditional retinol. It is completely natural, gentle enough for sensitive skin, and safe for both morning and evening use.
Is this serum safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. This is actually one of the main reasons we chose Bakuchiol as our hero ingredient. Unlike retinol which commonly causes redness, flaking, and irritation especially on sensitive skin, Bakuchiol has a well established safety profile for even the most reactive skin types. Every ingredient in this formula is carefully chosen to nourish without overwhelming your skin barrier.
No fragrances. No essential oils.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cows that closely mimics the natural oils (sebum) in our skin. It’s rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K — making it deeply nourishing, healing, and perfect for dry or sensitive skin.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Traditional retinol is not recommended during pregnancy.
Bakuchiol however is widely considered a safe alternative. That said every pregnancy is unique and we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider or OB-GYN before introducing any new skincare product during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Why do I need to follow with tallow after applying the serum?
Our Bakuchiol serum is 100% oil-based and designed to work together with grass-fed tallow. Tallow acts as a natural occlusive, meaning it creates a protective barrier over your skin that seals the serum in and prevents moisture loss. Together they work as a complete system. The serum penetrates and delivers active ingredients while the tallow locks everything in place while your skin repairs itself.
You can use the serum alone but the results are significantly enhanced when paired with Blue Moon.
How long before I see results?
Bakuchiol works gradually and consistently. Here is a realistic timeline:
Week 1 to 2: Skin feels more balanced, hydrated and comfortable
Week 3 to 4: Fine lines appear softer and less defined
Week 6 to 8: Visible improvement in skin tone, texture and elasticity
Consistency is everything with Bakuchiol. Use it morning and night without skipping for the best results.
Does it smell like anything?
Our Bakuchiol serum is completely fragrance free. You may notice a very subtle natural scent from the prickly pear seed oil and fractionated coconut oil but it is extremely mild and fades immediately on application.
What is the shelf life?
Our Bakuchiol serum has a shelf life of 12 months unopened and 6 months after opening. Because this formula contains no synthetic preservatives, proper storage is essential to maintaining the potency and freshness of your serum.
To get the most out of your bottle we recommend storing it in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid leaving it on a sunny windowsill, in a steamy bathroom, or in a hot car. Always use the dropper to dispense and avoid touching the dropper tip directly to your skin to prevent contamination.
When stored properly you will get the full benefit of every single drop.
