MoisturizingPrunus amygdalus dulcis seed, Glycerin + 9 moreGood evidence
“Craft Bio-Bakuchiol Eye Cream has powerful anti-age properties, as well as moisturising and nourishing the delicate under-eye area.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Anti-agingButyrospermum parkii butterLimited evidence
“Providing similar effects to retinol, without the level or irritation or side effects, the organic bakuchiol can decrease the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eye, as well as signs of UV skin damage.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - butyrospermum parkii butter - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

A babchi plant seed extract. It is the source for the skincare active Bakuchiol, but it can also contain furocoumarins (psoralen, angelicin) that are phototoxic. We strongly recommend avoiding this extract in the product and use products with pure Bakuchiol instead.
