What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. Prepare a clean 30ml amber dropper bottle.
  2. Add 5ml Organic Babchi Oil — natural bakuchiol, the gentle plant-based retinol alternative.
  3. Add 15ml Jojoba Oil as your stabilizing carrier oil.
  4. Add 5ml Olive Squalene for lightweight, fast-absorbing nourishment.
  5. Add 3 drops Vitamin-E Oil as antioxidant preservative.
  6. Cap and swirl gently to blend — never shake oil serums (introduces oxidizing air bubbles).
  7. Patch test on inner forearm 24 hours before first use. Babchi is gentle but worth confirming.
  8. To apply: warm 2-3 drops between fingers and press into cleansed face at night only. Babchi is photosensitive — never use during the day.
  9. Frequency: Start 2-3 nights a week and gradually increase to nightly over 4 weeks.
  10. Important: Always wear SPF 30+ every morning. Babchi is gentler than retinol but still increases sun sensitivity.
  11. Storage: Cool, dark place. Shelf life: 6 months.

Pro Tips

Start with every other night to build tolerance. Always use SPF next morning. Patch test for 3 days before full face.
