The Hero Ingredient

Bidens Pilosa Extract — Retinol Alternative

Bidens Pilosa is a botanical extract used in skincare as a plant-derived retinol alternative.

It makes this moisturiser particularly interesting for customers looking for anti-ageing skincare centred around a botanical alternative rather than conventional retinol.

The formula is designed to support:

• Smoother-looking skin
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improved-looking skin texture
• Firmer-looking skin
• A more radiant complexion

And unlike conventional retinol products that are often positioned primarily for evening use, this moisturiser is designed by the manufacturer for morning and/or evening application.

More Than One Anti-Ageing Ingredient

Bidens Pilosa may be the headline ingredient, but it isn't working alone.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline

A modified amino-acid derivative used in anti-ageing skincare to support the appearance of smoother and firmer skin.

It complements the formula's focus on:

• Fine lines
• Firmness
• Elasticity
• Skin smoothness

Hyaluronic Acid

The formula contains both Hydrolysed Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate.

Together they help:

• Attract and retain moisture
• Plump dehydrated-looking skin
• Improve softness
• Smooth the appearance of fine dehydration lines
• Maintain supple-looking skin

Sodium PCA

A powerful moisture-binding ingredient associated with the skin's Natural Moisturising Factor.

It helps maintain hydration and reduce feelings of dryness and tightness.

Organic Aloe Vera Juice

The first ingredient in the formula.

Aloe Vera helps hydrate, soothe and condition the skin while supporting a soft and comfortable complexion.

Vitamin C

The formula contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative that provides antioxidant support and complements the formula's radiance-focused ingredients.

Vitamin E

Tocopherol provides antioxidant and skin-conditioning benefits while helping maintain skin softness.

Organic Jojoba Oil

Helps condition and nourish the skin while supporting its natural moisture barrier.

Organic Mango Butter

A rich botanical butter that helps nourish dry-feeling skin and maintain softness and suppleness.

Sea Buckthorn Extract

A botanical ingredient containing naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that complements the formula's nourishing and radiance-focused ingredients.

Why Choose a Retinol Alternative?

Traditional retinol is a popular anti-ageing skincare ingredient, but not everyone wants it in their everyday routine.

This formula takes a different approach.

Instead of conventional retinol, it uses Bidens Pilosa Extract as its plant-derived retinol alternative and combines it with hydrating and nourishing ingredients.

That gives you an everyday moisturiser focused on:

Fine lines + Wrinkles + Firmness + Hydration + Radiance

without conventional retinol being part of the formula.

Morning or Night?

Morning

Use it as your daily moisturiser and finish with broad-spectrum SPF.

Evening

Apply after cleansing and serum as your final moisturising step.

Or Both

The product is designed for morning and/or evening use, making it easy to fit into your existing routine.
