Love starts with skin. It’s the mantra that has guided every step of our journey here at Mantric. Our mission is to empower you with innovative, natural ingredients that address your unique skin needs. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the newest star in our line-up: Bakuchiol.
The Pursuit of Radiance: A Scientific Odyssey
In the bustling heart of our research center in Dallas, where groundbreaking discoveries come to life, a pivotal decision was recently made. With a steadfast commitment to skincare excellence, our team of scientists at Mantric embarked on a rigorous journey to uncover the next big thing in skincare — a journey that revolved around two powerful ingredients: Tretinoin and Bakuchiol.
With every trial and every test, we were guided by a single, unwavering objective: to find a solution that not only meets our high standards for effectiveness, but also embodies our core values of being approachable, transparent, and of impeccable quality.
Tretinoin, known for its potent anti-aging capabilities, has long been a titan in the skincare world. However, our extensive research unearthed a worthy alternative: Bakuchiol. With the strength to combat signs of aging, the gentleness to cater to sensitive skin, and the innate capacity to integrate seamlessly with our PRP (Purify, Revitalize, Protect) System, Bakuchiol emerged as a clear and compelling choice for our formulas.
The result? A conscientious decision to move forward with Bakuchiol, driven by its holistic efficacy and alignment with our deeply rooted values.
As Mantric continues to evolve, so does our approach to skincare. We are a dynamic, living brand, ever-attuned to the latest scientific advancements. We are a laboratory of ideas and innovation, where the love for skin is not merely a tagline, but a fundamental ethos that directs every action we take.
In this pursuit, change is not a challenge but an embrace—a testament to our fluidity and commitment to ever elevating your skincare journey.
Bakuchiol 101
Derived from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea Corylifolia plant, Bakuchiol is emerging as a natural alternative to retinol, free of the harsh effects.
Scientific Facts about Bakuchiol:
1. Clinically Proven to Reduce Signs of Aging:
Studies show that Bakuchiol is as effective as retinol in reducing wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, without the associated irritation (Chaudhuri & Bojanowski, 2014).
2. Antioxidant Powerhouse:
Bakuchiol fights skin-damaging free radicals with vigor, helping to prevent premature aging (Dhaliwal et al., 2019).
3. Anti-inflammatory and Anti-bacterial:
It has proven efficacy in reducing acne through its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties (Chaudhuri & Bojanowski, 2014).
4. Boosts Collagen Production:
Like retinol, Bakuchiol prompts your cells to produce more collagen, but without the irritation and sun-sensitivity (Dhaliwal et al., 2019).
5. Suitable for All Skin Types, Including Sensitive Skin:
Bakuchiol doesn’t provoke the common irritation associated with retinol, making it perfect for sensitive skin (Dhaliwal et al., 2019).
6. Promotes Skin Hydration and Elasticity:
Research indicates that Bakuchiol can significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity, making skin appear plumper and more youthful (Chaudhuri & Bojanowski, 2014).
7. No Photosensitivity:
Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol doesn't make the skin more sensitive to the sun, which is a huge benefit when it comes to daily skincare (Dhaliwal et al., 2019).
How Bakuchiol Complements Our PRP (Purify, Revitalize, Protect) System:
Purify:
The antibacterial properties of Bakuchiol make it a perfect addition to our PRP system. It assists in purifying the skin, fighting against acne-causing bacteria and other skin impurities.
Revitalize:
As a potent stimulator of collagen, Bakuchiol aligns seamlessly with our aim to revitalize the skin. It encourages cellular renewal and helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a revitalized, youthful appearance.
Protect:
With its robust antioxidant action, Bakuchiol is a champion in our PRP system’s protective stage. It fights off environmental stressors and free radicals, safeguarding your skin's health and maintaining its youthful glow.
At Mantric, we're not just adding another ingredient; we're enhancing a system that aligns with your skin’s natural rhythm and needs. Bakuchiol is our promise to continue offering innovative, effective, and approachable solutions for all.
