How It Works: The Science
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound that delivers retinol-like results—stimulating collagen production, reducing fine lines, and improving skin texture—without the irritation, peeling, or sun sensitivity. Clinical studies show it's as effective as retinol for anti-ageing, but gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Thymoquinone (the active compound in Black Seed Oil) is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It calms redness, protects against free radical damage, and supports your skin's natural barrier function. Perfect for reactive, rosacea-prone, or stressed skin.
Together, these ingredients work synergistically to renew, protect, and calm your skin—while the ritual of application regulates your nervous system.
How to Use
Morning ritual:
- Cleanse your face
- Dispense 2-3 drops of Super Natural Oil into your palms
- Warm between your hands and inhale deeply (notice the uplifting May Chang scent)
- Press gently into your face and neck with intention
- Follow with moisturiser if needed, or wear alone for a natural glow
Pro tip: Pair with a ROOTED card from your deck to create a complete Self-Regulation Skincare™ ritual. Try "The Anchor" or "Design Your Day" while applying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
A: Yes! Bakuchiol is gentle and non-irritating, unlike retinol. The Thymoquinone in Black Seed Oil actually calms inflammation and redness.
Q: Can I use this during the day?
A: Absolutely. Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol has no photosensitivity, making it safe for daytime use.
Q: Will this make my skin oily?
A: No. Jojoba oil closely mimics your skin's natural sebum, so it absorbs beautifully without leaving a greasy residue. You can wear it alone or under moisturiser.
Q: How is this different from retinol?
A: Bakuchiol delivers similar anti-ageing results (collagen stimulation, fine line reduction) without the irritation, redness, peeling, or sun sensitivity of retinol. It's perfect for sensitive skin.
Q: Can I use this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
A: Yes. Bakuchiol is a safe, natural alternative to retinol (which should be avoided during pregnancy). However, always consult your doctor before introducing new skincare.
