Why We Chose Bakuchiol Over Retinol (and Your Skin Will Thank Us)
When formulating the Infinite Aura Moisturizer, hydration wasn’t our only priority—we also wanted to include an active ingredient that helps renew the skin without causing irritation. Many people turn to retinol, a classic in skincare, but for sensitive skin types, it can be too harsh. That’s why we chose bakuchiol, a plant-based powerhouse that delivers similar results to retinol while being gentle and soothing.
Moisturizer That Redefines Gentle Anti-Aging
A good moisturizer does more than hydrate—it needs to deliver results without irritation. Bakuchiol fits the bill perfectly. Clinical studies show it improves skin firmness and texture much like retinol, but without the harsh side effects. In Infinite Aura, bakuchiol is paired with nourishing ingredients like squalane and aloe vera to enhance comfort and glow.
Comparing Retinol vs. Bakuchiol
Though retinol has decades of research proving its effectiveness, it’s not for everyone—especially those with reactive or dry skin. Bakuchiol offers many of the same benefits—collagen stimulation, smoother tone—with far less irritation. That means you can enjoy the results without the transition phase or sun sensitivity.
Hydration Front and Center
Our Infinite Aura blends bakuchiol with rich hydration boosters like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and jojoba oil. This ensures that your skin barrier remains strong and comfortable, even as bakuchiol helps renew and smooth your complexion.
Bakuchiol Supports Barrier Health
Retinol can weaken the skin’s barrier over time. Bakuchiol, in contrast, complements and preserves it. By strengthening the barrier, Infinite Aura helps your skin retain hydration and resist environmental stress—making it the perfect daily moisturizer.
Suitable for All Skin Types
Don't let skin type hold you back. Whether your complexion is oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, Infinite Aura adapts beautifully. Bakuchiol is balancing and non-comedogenic—and its hydrating base keeps skin nourished, not greasy.
Using Infinite Aura in Your Daily Skin Routine
Use Infinite Aura after cleansing and treatments, morning and night. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol isn't photo-sensitizing, so you can safely use it during the day. Just follow with SPF for protection and continuity.
Commitment to Clean Beauty
Infinite Aura is formulated without parabens, phthalates, or synthetic fragrances. It’s fully vegan, cruelty-free, and designed to work gently with skin rather than irritate it. A moisturizer should protect your skin well-being—and Infinite Aura does just that.
Dermatologist-Backed Goodness
Dermatologists emphasize choosing ingredients that deliver anti-aging results while maintaining barrier integrity. Studies, including ones shared by Harvard Health, confirm that bakuchiol delivers visible benefits similar to retinol—like smoother texture and fewer wrinkles—without irritation.Harvard Health
The Glow Without the Goop
If you’ve been avoiding retinol due to sensitivity, bakuchiol offers a kinder alternative. Infinite Aura hydrates, nourishes, and smooths—resulting in radiant skin without flaking or discomfort.
Nourish Now, Maintain Forever
Bakuchiol isn’t just about what you see today—it’s about skin health in the long run. By gently renewing and protecting your skin, Infinite Aura helps maintain a youthful and resilient complexion, day after day.
Perfect for Preventative Skincare
Even if you don’t yet see fine lines, bakuchiol helps slow their formation. Starting early with a moisturizer like Infinite Aura can keep your skin youthful, plump, and resilient. Prevention is always easier than correction.
Your Evening Wind-Down Essential
Incorporating Infinite Aura into your nighttime routine is like giving your skin a reset button. After a long day, it replenishes lost hydration while bakuchiol goes to work, supporting overnight renewal. You’ll wake up to smoother, more refreshed skin.
Why Infinite Aura Stands Out in Skincare
Not all moisturizers are created equal. Infinite Aura’s unique blend of hydration and renewal sets it apart as more than a cream—it’s a complete skincare solution. With one product, you’re nourishing, protecting, and improving your skin daily.
One Moisturizer. Every Glow.
At BOHEMIA, we believe skincare should be simple, effective, and enjoyable. Infinite Aura brings that philosophy to life: one moisturizer that hydrates, renews, and adapts to your needs. It’s proof that sometimes, less really is more.
