What is Phyto-Retinol?
Phyto-Retinol is an umbrella term for plant-based ingredients that have retinol-like activity but are not part of the retinoid family. These ingredients include Sea Fennel extract, Rosehip seed oil, Picão Preto and, perhaps the most well known and most powerful Phyto-Retinol, Bakuchiol.
Origin and Creation of Phyto-Retinol Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is extracted from the Babchi plant through a process that preserves its natural integrity. The seeds and leaves are harvested, dried, and then subjected to a cold-press extraction method. This method ensures that the beneficial properties of the plant are retained without the use of harsh chemicals or solvents. The result is a pure, potent, and natural extract that can be used in various skincare formulations.
Benefits of Phyto-Retinol
Phyto Retinol has gained popularity for its myriad benefits, particularly for those seeking an alternative to traditional retinol. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Anti-Aging Properties
Phyto Retinol stimulates collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes cell turnover, leading to a smoother and more youthful complexion. Unlike traditional retinol, it does this without causing irritation or sensitivity.
2. Antioxidant Protection
Rich in antioxidants, Phyto Retinol helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation. This protection is crucial for preventing premature aging and maintaining healthy skin.
3. Gentle on the Skin
One of the most significant advantages of Phyto Retinol is its gentleness. Traditional retinol can cause dryness, redness, and peeling, especially for those with sensitive skin. Phyto Retinol, on the other hand, is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, as it does not cause irritation.
4. Brightens Skin Tone
Phyto Retinol helps to even out skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Its skin-brightening properties lead to a more radiant and even complexion.
5. Anti-Inflammatory
Phyto Retinol has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with rosacea or eczema.
6. Regulates Oil Production
For those with oily or acne-prone skin, Phyto Retinol can help to regulate sebum production, reducing the occurrence of breakouts and keeping the skin balanced.
Why Phyto-Retinol is better than the traditional Retinol?
While traditional retinol is a well-known and effective anti-aging ingredient, it comes with its fair share of drawbacks. Here are some reasons why Phyto Retinol might be a better choice for your skincare routine:
1. No Irritation
Traditional retinol can cause significant irritation, including redness, peeling, and dryness. These side effects often lead individuals to discontinue use. Phyto Retinol provides similar benefits without the harsh side effects, making it suitable for daily use.
2. Safe for All Skin Types
Because it is gentler, Phyto Retinol is safe for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It can be used by individuals who have previously experienced adverse reactions to traditional retinol.
3. Natural and Sustainable
Phyto Retinol is derived from a plant source, making it a more natural and sustainable option compared to synthetic retinol. This aligns with the growing demand for clean and eco-friendly beauty products.
4. Can Be Used During the Day
Traditional retinol can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, typically limiting its use to nighttime. Phyto Retinol does not have this photosensitizing effect, meaning it can be safely used during the day, providing flexibility in your skincare routine.
