Most night serums use synthetic retinoids (causing photosensitivity and pregnancy concerns), silicones, synthetic preservatives, and synthetic fragrance. Sagrada BioSkincare uses bakuchiol in a formula of 11 pure plant oils and botanical extracts. Made Safe certified + Leaping Bunny certified. Beauty Shortlist Award 2025.
✦ Ingredient Spotlight: Bakuchiol — The Retinol Alternative
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound from Psoralea corylifolia seeds. A 2018 randomised controlled trial in the British Journal of Dermatology found it statistically comparable to retinol for reducing fine lines, improving skin tone, and stimulating collagen — without retinol's documented side effects: photosensitivity, peeling, and contraindication during pregnancy. The evidence-backed retinol alternative, safe for all skin types including pregnant skin.
Apply 3–5 drops to clean, dry face morning and/or evening. Massage in upward motions until absorbed. Follow with SPF in the morning.
