What I Like

  • EWG Rating: 5 — this score is driven by conservative database flagging related to potential contamination concerns sometimes applied to certain botanicals and plant-derived ingredients in general, rather than confirmed contamination in the finished product.

  • This is a true retinol-alternative style cream using bakuchiol for visible skin renewal without the irritation commonly associated with retinoids.

  • Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and jelly mushroom support hydration, barrier strength, and improved skin texture.

  • Sea buckthorn, strawberry seed, acai, bilberry, and pomegranate provide antioxidant support against environmental stress.

  • Jojoba, safflower, sunflower, and squalane help nourish the skin without clogging pores.

  • The texture feels silky, lightweight, and comfortable for daily use without feeling greasy.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • This formula contains many active botanicals and fruit extracts, which can be stimulating for very sensitive or reactive skin.

  • This is a more active formula, meaning it contains performance-focused ingredients that improve the skin beyond basic hydration and may feel more stimulating for sensitive or reactive skin.

  • While bakuchiol is generally well tolerated, those new to active skincare may want to start with once-daily use.

  • Red algae and multiple plant extracts make this a more targeted treatment cream rather than a basic moisturizer.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Notes

  • Many of the base ingredients in this cream, including aloe, glycerin, jojoba oil, safflower oil, squalane, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E, are generally considered low risk for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • Bakuchiol is often used as a gentler alternative to retinol, but there is limited pregnancy-specific safety data on daily topical use.
