In the world of skincare, retinol has long been praised as the go-to solution for wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven texture. But for many, it comes with unwanted side effects—dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. At Nai Naturals, we believe that skincare should feel nourishing, never harsh. That’s why we love bakuchiol, a plant-based ingredient that offers retinol-like results while being gentle on even the most sensitive skin.
What is Retinol?
Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, is often used to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production. While effective, it can leave skin red, flaky, or overly dry. Many people also need to avoid it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, making it less versatile than natural alternatives.
What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia (babchi) plant, used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Today, it’s recognized as a natural retinol alternative—delivering the same anti-aging and brightening benefits without irritation.
At Nai Naturals, we believe bakuchiol reflects the best of modern skincare: science-backed results rooted in nature.
