Bakuchiol - The new super ingredient you should know about!
Retinol has long been a favorite in skincare â despite its side effects. But from November 2025, the EU is tightening the rules and limiting it to a maximum of 0.3% in skincare and 0.05% in body products, due to the risk of health problems that high intakes of vitamin A can cause.
Want the same skin-enhancing benefits, but without the risks and side effects? Discover Bakuchiol â the natural and gentle super ingredient that is now revolutionizing the skincare industry.
Why is retinol restricted?
The new regulations are being introduced due to concerns about potential health risks if the concentration of retinol exceeds certain levels. Retinol is absorbed through the skin and increases the body's total vitamin A intake, which we also get from food and supplements.
Excessive intake over time can lead to:
- Skin irritation â Strong concentrations of retinol can cause redness, peeling, and sensitivity.
- Osteoporosis â High levels of vitamin A can weaken the skeleton.
- Fetal damage â Pregnant women should be careful, as excess vitamin A can affect fetal development.
Bakuchiol â the new it ingredient
Bakuchiol is a natural, plant-based alternative to retinol â but without the typical side effects. Studies show that when used regularly, bakuchiol has the same effect as retinol in terms of collagen production, skin renewal and reduction of fine lines.
The difference is that Bakuchiol is known to be more gentle and milder on the skin, and is suitable for all skin types â even sensitive skin and pregnant women.

Optimal efficacy and purity
That's why we choose Bakuchiol with high Bio-Purity
Not all bakuchiol is created equal, and the quality of the ingredient can vary depending on extraction method, purity, and stability of the formulation. During the development of our Bakuchiol Night Cream, we placed great emphasis on selecting high Bio-Purity bakuchiol to ensure the ingredient is as pure and effective as possible.
Bio-Purity is about preserving the natural potential of the ingredient, without contamination from harmful substances or chemicals. This high purity allows bakuchiol to provide maximum benefits to the skin, while being gentle and safe.
To achieve the best results, we have also selected the optimal concentration of 0.5% bakuchiol , which is proven to provide similar efficacy to retinol, without the negative side effects. This makes bakuchiol an ideal choice for skin care, with both efficacy and safety in mind.
