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.

Bakuchiol

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 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.

"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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It’s definitely the best eye cream, love that it’s so gentle for under eye

I absolutely love this eye cream. I suffer from very poor sleep (perimenopause and wakeful child) but my under eyes look brilliant. Skin is soft and noticeably smoother to look at and feel. The consistency of the cream I really like it’s thick but also light. I’d recommend using less than you think as if I put too much on it can clump a little bit to be that is a sign of the wholeness and naturally derived ingredients - it feels very much more like ‘real’ ingredients and not synthetic like other brands. Amazing all round!

Nourishing and reduced the discolouration under my eyes. Helped wake me up in the morning

nice consistency and soothing cream

I have been using the eye cream for quite a few weeks now and I can honestly say it has made such a difference already . More firmer skin around the eyes . I am loving this eye cream !

Personally I dont see any visual difference from.using this product

I like the creamy texture of the product and is gentle on the skin. Easy to absorb into the skin and my eye area felt moisturised afterwards.

I really enjoy the creamy texture, how soothing and delicate it feels on the area!

After using cleasing balm, i lightly dab eye cream on the delicate skin around the eyes. A little does the work. Its a light texture cream which easily blends into the skin.

Good size

I was really impressed with this eye cream. It felt soothing and gentle around the delicate eye area, while also helping to improve the appearance of fine lines. My eye area looked smoother and more refreshed with regular use, and it was comfortable to wear without feeling heavy or irritating. Overall, a lovely eye cream that I would definitely consider using again.

Lovely item no negatives other than I do like a nice fragrance and this doesn't smell at all. Absorbs quickly to the skin and feels Lovely on

I loved this eye cream, goes on thick and soaks in well

It has a lovely creamy texture that feels nourishing but not too heavy, and it absorbs nicely without leaving the area feeling greasy. I use a small amount around my eye area and gently pat it in.

Bye bye bags !!

Noticed a difference in the skin around my eyes after a week. The area felt more firm and hydrated & definitely less puffy. I'd definitely keep using this product. I love too that it's 100% Natural. This is so important for me, especially around this sensitive area on my face.

The Eye Cream has left the skin around my eyes feeling smoother, fresher and more hydrated, while helping to reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines.

I loved the eye cream it helped my fine lie s and it smells so organic and natural! I enjoyed the suppleness after using and found it to be non greasy.

Thick texture which felt like it was really was doing its job of moisturising the under eye

This product was really satisfying on my skin. It left mh skin very well balanced.

This was great. I was able to to on my eye skin and felt really good

Hydrating

lovely product feels so nice to apply and really helps to hydrate

The product was good but I don't think the packaging is appealing I wouldn't notice it on a shelf

Cream is good I just didn't like presentation

Heavy cream that brightened my eye area

Skin is hydrated, no irritation

Really like the feel of the cream, but I didn't like the smell. I would use this product only during the evening.

This eye cream is very gentle under my eyes. I love that is 100% natural. You don't need a lot of amount to apply. I'm very happy so for with this eye cream.

Easy to apply. Felt good

At first glance you wouldn't think this would compete with high end competitors. How wrong you would be! This luxurious little pot of magic helps to keep your eyes looking sparkly reducing under eye shadows! I will be a repeat customer .

I love that the eye cream is extremely gentle around my eye area. It absorbed instantly and was lightweight and felt soothing to use. It improved the look around my eyes and left the area feeling refreshed.
