A lightweight, 100% natural eye cream for the delicate eye area - a natural alternative to retinol that smooths the look of fine lines and firms, without the irritation, redness, peeling or sun-sensitivity. Built on a soothing safflower seed oil base with babchi seed extract and mandarin orange peel extract, it refreshes tired, puffy-looking eyes and brightens the under-eye area. Gentle on sensitive skin; safe morning and night. Unscented.

Size: 25ml

Babchi Seed Extract - the natural retinol alternative; a purified extract from the babchi seed whose active compound, bakuchiol, is clinically studied to work like retinol, without the irritation.

Mandarin Orange Peel Extract - for immediate softness and glow.

Safflower Seed Oil - the soothing, lightweight base rich in linoleic acid that makes it gentle enough for the delicate eye area.

Bakuchiol - the active in babchi seed - has a retinol-like anti-ageing effect supported by two independent, peer-reviewed studies (Int. J. Cosmetic Science 2014; British Journal of Dermatology 2019).

Full ingredients: Babchi Seed Extract (natural retinol alternative) · Grape Seed Oil (antioxidant-rich) · Safflower Seed Oil (soothing base) · Mandarin Orange Peel Extract (radiance) · Rice Bran Wax (natural texture) · Vegetable Glycerin (hydration) · Xanthan Gum (natural thickener) · Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate (plant-derived emulsifier) · Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (emollient) · Undecylenoyl Glycine (natural preservative, from castor bean) · Sodium Levulinate (naturally-derived preservative) · Sodium Anisate (naturally-derived preservative) · Aqua (water).

After cleansing, take a rice-grain amount per eye and gently tap around the orbital bone with your ring finger until absorbed — avoid the lash line. Use morning and night; it's photostable and safe in daylight, unlike retinol.

Suitable for: all skin types, including sensitive; a gentle choice for perimenopausal and menopausal skin. 100% natural with no known contraindications for pregnancy or breastfeeding (check with your doctor if unsure).

Free from: synthetic fragrance · petroleum-derived ingredients · synthetic dyes · silicones · harsh surfactants. Vegan · cruelty-free · biodegradable.

When will I see results?
Softer, more hydrated skin from the first few uses; smoothing and firming build over 4–8 weeks.

Is it really as effective as retinol?
It's formulated to deliver comparable smoothing and firming through a different, gentler chemistry — without retinol's irritation.

Is it safe for sensitive eyes & contact-lens wearers?
Yes — apply to the orbital bone, not the lash line, and avoid direct eye contact.

Can I wear it in the daytime?
Yes — it's photostable and doesn't increase sun-sensitivity.

Nature's answer to retinol

The skin around your eyes is only about half a millimetre thick - thinner, drier and more prone to puffiness than the rest of your face. You can't just tweak a face cream; it's a whole new brief. So we built it on a soothing, lightweight safflower seed oil base and three plant actives that smooth, brighten and hydrate - powered by the natural, clinically-studied alternative to retinol.

Babchi Seed Extract

Retinol alternative

The natural alternative to retinol - a purified extract from the babchi seed. Its active compound, bakuchiol, is clinically studied to work like retinol, without the irritation.

Mandarin Orange Peel Extract

For immediate softness and glow - skin feels softer and plumper from first use, while bakuchiol works on the longer-term signs of ageing.

Safflower Seed Oil

The soothing, lightweight base rich in linoleic acid that makes it gentle enough for the delicate eye area - delivers lipids without heaviness.

Created by two University of Leeds professors

"The eye area is structurally different - thinner, with less oil. You can't just tweak a face cream; it's a whole new brief. We had to be doubly sure it wouldn't irritate the delicate skin around the eyes."

Prof. Richard Blackburn · Professor of Sustainable Materials, University of Leeds · co-founder

Bakuchiol's retinol-like effect is supported by two independent, peer-reviewed studies on the ingredient (IJCS 2014; British Journal of Dermatology 2019)

"I have used the eye cream for a few days and the texture is light and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy under my eyes. It feels hydrating and sits really well under my make up. Really enjoying it so far"

The 100% natural alternative to retinol

Clinically-proven active - retinol results, none of the retinol drawbacks.

(SN)T™ Retinol
Smooths lines & firms
Irritation, redness, tightness
Peeling & flaking
Adjustment / "retinisation" period
Safe to wear in daylight
100% natural
Suits sensitive & menopausal skin

How it works: bakuchiol targets the same skin receptors as retinol but without converting to retinoic acid - so the results come without the inflammatory side effects.

How to use

Cleanse first

After the Cleansing Balm, pat skin dry.

Tap gently around the eye

Use your ring finger - the lightest touch - on the orbital bone, not the lash line, until absorbed.

Morning & night

Photostable and safe in daylight, unlike retinol - so you can use it day and night.

Your questions, answered

I reacted badly to retinol - why would this be different?

Retinol works by converting to retinoic acid - and that conversion is what triggers the redness, peeling and "retinisation" many people react to. Bakuchiol, the active in our babchi seed extract, delivers comparable smoothing and firming through a different, gentler pathway, without that conversion. So you get the results without the reaction. It's also unscented and formulated for sensitive skin.

What exactly is bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a plant compound found in the babchi seed. It's clinically studied to work like retinol - smoothing lines and firming skin - but without the irritation retinol is known for. Its retinol-like effect is supported by two independent, peer-reviewed studies on the ingredient.

Can I use it with my other products - vitamin C, acids, SPF, make-up?

Yes. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is gentle and stable, so it layers well with vitamin C, exfoliating acids and SPF, and sits comfortably under make-up. Apply after cleansing, before any heavier creams.

Is it suitable through perimenopause and menopause?

Yes - it's a gentle choice for perimenopausal and menopausal skin, which is often drier and more reactive. It's 100% natural, unscented, and formulated for the delicate, sensitive eye area. As always, check with your doctor if you have concerns.

Is there a "purge" or adjustment period, or any sun-sensitivity?

No. There's no "retinisation" or purge period, and — unlike retinol — it's photostable and doesn't increase sun-sensitivity, so you can wear it morning and night.

How long does one jar last?

A little goes a long way — a rice-grain amount per eye, morning and night, means one jar lasts around 8 weeks. That works out to roughly £4.80 per week for a clinically-backed eye treatment.

What if it doesn't work for me?

It's covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee — try it, and if you don't love it, we'll refund you. No fuss.
