Bakuchiol Night Cream

This cream features bakuchiol, a plant-derived alternative to retinol, which is generally considered safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does contain natural essential oils, which can sometimes increase sensitivity, so patch test and consult your doctor if you have concerns.

✅ Bakuchiol: Plant-based retinol alternative. Unlike retinoids, bakuchiol does not have the same teratogenic risk and is generally considered safe in pregnancy.

✅ Moisturizing agents (glycerin, shea butter, jojoba, sunflower oil, squalane equivalents) are pregnancy-friendly.

✅ Niacinamide + peptides support skin barrier and firmness safely.

⚠️ Contains essential oils (lavender, geranium, lime, orange). These are typically safe in cosmetic concentrations, but some OBs suggest limiting heavy essential oil use during pregnancy due to potential irritation.

❌ No retinoids, high-dose salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or benzoyl peroxide.

This cream contains bakuchiol, niacinamide, and hydrating oils to support firm, healthy skin. It is considered low risk for clogging pores, but because it includes shea butter, fatty alcohols, and essential oils, those with very oily or acne-prone skin should patch test first. For most users, it is non-comedogenic.

✅ Bakuchiol: Considered a safe, plant-based retinol alternative that does not clog pores.

✅ Barrier-supporting oils and emollients (argan oil, shea butter, jojoba, triglycerides, squalane equivalents) are nourishing and mostly low risk in comedogenicity indexes when used in balanced formulations.

✅ Niacinamide + peptides help regulate oil production and strengthen skin — beneficial for acne-prone skin.

⚠️ Shea butter & fatty alcohols (cetyl, stearyl, cetearyl alcohol): Generally safe, but may be mildly comedogenic in very oily or breakout-prone individuals.

⚠️ Essential oils (lavender, geranium, lime, orange): Not clogging, but can trigger irritation or barrier disruption in acne-prone skin, which indirectly may worsen breakouts.

❌ No lanolin, coconut oil, or highly comedogenic waxes.

This cream uses bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, to target fine lines and improve texture with much less irritation than traditional retinoids. While overall low risk, very sensitive skin may react to the natural fragrance oils.

✅ Bakuchiol is generally considered a gentler alternative to retinol, with a much lower irritation profile.

✅ Hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients like shea butter, squalane, sodium hyaluronate, argan oil, and jojoba help reduce sensitivity risk.

✅ Niacinamide adds barrier-strengthening and soothing benefits.

⚠️ Includes essential oils/extracts (lavender, lime, orange, geranium) that may trigger irritation for sensitive skin types.

⚠️ Small amounts of fragrance-related compounds (limonene, linalool, geraniol) can cause reactivity in allergy-prone individuals.
