Base · Rosehip seed oil12%
Softens the skin, and carries the rest.
Every facet is an ingredient. The taller the facet, the more of it inside. Rosehip oil fills the base; bakuchiol, the strongest, needs only the thinnest cut at the top.

Warm two drops between your fingertips, on clean, dry skin.

Questions
Can I use it with retinol?
You can, but you probably do not need to. Bakuchiol does similar work more gently. If you already use retinol, alternate nights rather than layering the two.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Bakuchiol is often chosen instead of retinol for this reason, but Luma Ritual is fictional and so is this formula. For a real product, ask your doctor or midwife first.
Why is it amber?
Because bakuchiol and rosehip oil are. We do not add colour, and we do not filter it out.
