Bakuchiol is an all-natural alternative to vitamin A that works through similar receptors without reddening or peeling skin.
Bakuchiol does not increase light sensitivity like other retinol alternatives, making it safer for most skin types. Use it in serum or moisturizer along with rosehip oil for an ageless and radiant complexion.
Chicory Root Oligosaccharides
Chicory roots have long been part of human diet, dating back over two millennia. Unfortunately, their use today is primarily restricted to regional specialities despite increasing interest for natural, autochthonous and traditionally prepared foods.
Roots contain inulin, an easily assimilated prebiotic fibre with well-documented health benefits. Composed of fructose units linked together (fructooligosaccharide), this polysaccharide boasts numerous health advantages that have been scientifically verified; making it suitable for inclusion into various food products.
Fructooligosaccharides pass undigested through the stomach and small intestine, instead reaching the colon where they are used as a source of nutrition by gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. Saccharolytic prebiotic fermentation yields short chain fatty acids which provide multiple benefits to human bodies.
Clinical trials evaluating inulin have documented its beneficial effects, such as stool softening and frequency improvements, as well as impactful effects on gut hormones and glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, it has demonstrated support for weight management through regulation of hunger/satiety signals as well as reduced energy intake; effector molecules including fructose, chlorogenic acid and sesquiterpene lactones have been identified for these responses (See File S6).
Tara Tree Extract
Tara or nickernut seed extract contains natural polyphenolic compounds with antibacterial and antiviral properties that promote healthy metabolism by aiding waste removal, while simultaneously helping balance skin pigmentation by reducing hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, melasma or acne scarring.
Nickernut has long been used as part of traditional herbal medicine in indigenous Andean communities. The tree contains tannins, an organic group known for their antioxidant activity that has also been found to boost immune system response. Furthermore, galactomannans present in tara seed pods have been demonstrated to stimulate dendritic cells that trigger adaptive responses of immune response systems.
We love this ingredient for its ability to promote cellular turnover without irritating the skin, making it an excellent alternative to conventional retinol for anyone wanting to fade dark spots or uneven skin tone, though results may take longer. Our product incorporates this with other clean ingredients for an anti-age serum suitable for delicate crepey skin – including chicory root oligosaccharides and tara tree, along with PhytoCellTec Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells that help delay wrinkle formation; coconut oil, monoi oil and bamboo leaf extract to soften, soften and firm the skin; all combined together make an effective anti-age serum that’s gentle enough for delicate crepey crepey skin!
Carrot Seed Oil
Carrot seed oil (Daucus Carota) contains powerful antioxidants that protect skin cells and slow down aging, providing powerful protection from damage caused by sun exposure or oxidative stress. Furthermore, carrot seed oil provides plenty of vitamin E which works to neutralize free radicals as well as prevent sunburns or damage due to exposure or stress, providing significant UV protection as well as neutralizing free radicals in sunlight exposure or environmental stressors such as pollution. Lastly, carrot seed oil also boasts beta-carotene which helps support skin renewal while simultaneously diminishing signs of aging such as wrinkles or fine lines by supporting healthy renewal processes within skin renewal processes within cells themselves – something vitamin E can’t do.
Carrot seed oil can be an excellent natural face exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and repair dryness and damage, leaving skin looking healthier and more radiant. Furthermore, carrot seed oil can also be used as an all-natural hair treatment to promote healthy growth and prevent split ends as it contains several vital vitamins and minerals vital for hair health such as potassium, phosphorus and vitamin E.
Carrot seed essential oil contains sedative properties that may ease insomnia, as well as powerful antiviral and antifungal agents that may alleviate ailments caused by viruses like colds and the flu. Furthermore, its antifungal and antibacterial properties may aid in treating fungal infections as well as soothing any itchy skin irritations or irritations. Look out for beauty products containing this oil or use it with carrier oils directly onto facial and body skin for an antioxidant treatment to increase circulation.
