SUNSKIN SUNSCREEN

Yes, SPF means it only protects against UVB (Burning Rays). You need sunscreen to protect against UVA (Ageing).

SUN SKIN sunscreens consist of Organic filters which are carbon-based molecules. It absorbs the UV-Rays, oscillates & neutralizes the rays

It means the time you can spend in the sun. Doesn’t mean % or minutes. Example: Take a SPF50. If it takes your skin 10 minutes in the sun to burn, you multiply it with the SPF 50 = 500 minutes safe in the sun (8 hours). On condition you don’t wipe, sweat or swim. If so, you have to REAPPLY!!

We suggest that babies younger than 6 months, are not exposed to UV, since their melanocytes are not fully developed. Keep them in the shades & cover them with clothing. If in the sun, do sunscreen patch test and rather apply sunscreen than NO protection.

We only use filters that are approved by the European Regulations. The older filters can be unstable.

SUNSKIN Bakuchiol SERUM

Bakuchiol is a 100% natural
active ingredient obtained from the babchi seeds (psoralea corylifolia plant). Described as the true alternative to retinol, it
presents striking resemblances with the performances of retinoids but is much gentler with the skin.

YESSS!

Babchi oil is a product of Bakuchi seeds and Bakuchiol is an active chemical component
in it.

 

Babchi oil, psoralea corylifolia seed extract and oil-infusions made from babchi seeds ARE NOT THE SAME AS BAKUCHIOL. -nor are they safe for your skin.

Bakuchiol, a gentle alternative
to retinol, can be used for all types of skin: dry, oily or sensitive. Day
& Night! Whether you want to maintain youthful skin or find an efficient
solution for a radiant acne-free skin, Bakuchiol is the active ingredient you
want to be looking for.

Bakuchiol is a retinol-alternative. It stimulates key anti-aging genes similarly as retinol, for instance retinoid binding and
metabolizing genes. It is also an antioxidant, a stimulator of collagens and an
inhibitor of lipo-peroxidation.

Bakuchiol is not retinol, nor a retinoid compound. The
chemically structure is different. However, it is considered as a retinol
alternative as it functions as a retinol without the drawbacks. Bakuchiol can
be used during the day and is better tolerated by the skin.

SENSITIVE SKIN? IT’S A MATCH! 

A gentle solution as an ANTI-AGEING

Bakuchiol is an option for both protective and restorative
anti-aging, therefore it can be used to fight the first signs of aging but also to improve the quality of the skin already photodamaged.

In a clinical study, 16 volunteers, age 41 to 60, tested a
lotion containing 1% of Bakuchiol. After 12 weeks, there was significant
improvement in lines and wrinkles (-20% wrinkle depth), pigmentation,
elasticity, firmness, and overall photo-damage, with no irritating effect on skin.

 Option for ACNE-PRONE SKIN!

The Bakuchiol has been clinically proven to be more efficient
that salicylic acid and to reduce acne by 48% after 6 weeks. It could be an ally for both teenagers with sensitive skin but also adults with oily skin. 

No, Bakuchiol is photostable, it can also be used during the day!
