Why Choose Satthwa Bakuchiol Serum
Unlike chemical-based retinol serums, our Bakuchiol Serum is gentle, non-irritating, and safe for sensitive skin. It provides all the anti-ageing benefits of retinol while being 100% natural and organic, free from parabens, sulphates, and artificial fragrances.
What sets this serum apart is not just what's in it, it's how those ingredients were extracted. Key botanicals in this formula, including bakuchiol, amla, ashwagandha, and licorice are CO2-extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide, a cold, solvent-free process that preserves the full phytochemical profile of each plant, including the bioflavonoids, antioxidants, and co-factors that conventional heat or solvent extraction destroys. This means the bakuchiol in your serum retains its full spectrum of skin-renewing compounds, the licorice retains maximum glabridin (its active brightening molecule), and the amla retains its most potent antioxidants, exactly as nature intended.
Vitamin C is oil-soluble and imported from Japan, more stable and better-absorbed than the water-soluble L-ascorbic acid used in most serums, which oxidises quickly and struggles to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier.
