Bakuchiol, often called “nature’s retinol,” is a gentle yet effective compound extracted from the Babchi plant, a herb celebrated in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries. Modern studies show bakuchiol can help stimulate collagen, reduce the look of fine lines, improve skin elasticity, and even support a more even tone while avoiding the irritation or sensitivity sometimes linked with retinol.

Our Renewal Night Oil is built around this powerhouse ingredient. We have paired bakuchiol with deeply nourishing Avocado, Rosehip and Sea Buckthorn oils, making this product rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins. Together they work to replenish moisture, calm stressed skin, encourage renewal and reveal a smoother, more luminous complexion.

If you have ever wanted the results of retinol without dryness, flaking or sun sensitivity, bakuchiol offers a plant-based alternative that suits even sensitive skin.

During a stroll along Wellington's Western Coastline, I discovered this young mullein plant! 🌼🌿

🌿 Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) hails from Europe and Asia, and it's known for its remarkable potential in herbal remedies. From its leaves and flowers to its roots, nearly all parts of the mullein plant have valuable uses.

🌬️ Traditionally, mullein has been cherished as an expectorant – a natural helper in clearing out mucus from our respiratory tract. This makes it a go-to for dealing with conditions like asthma, bronchitis, pesky coughs, and congestion.

🌱 Mullein also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to treat issues involving inflammation, including bothersome joint pain and those irksome skin irritations.

Mullein is also full of antioxidants! It helps in fending off oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are our allies in maintaining overall health and lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

✨ Magnesium plays a crucial role in over 300 biochemical reactions in our bodies. It supports healthy nerve function, helps relax muscles, promotes better sleep, and even aids in stress reduction. Yet, our modern lifestyles often leave us deficient in this essential mineral.

💆‍♀️ Indulging in regular footbaths infused with our magnesium-rich bath salts, you can give your body the replenishment it needs. As your feet soak, the magnesium is absorbed through your skin, promoting relaxation, soothing tired muscles, and encouraging a sense of calm.
