Alternatives for Retinol and Green Tea Extract

Thank you for your question regarding alternatives for Retinol and Green Tea extract (EGCG).

Regarding Retinol, it is being discontinued due to concerns about potential misuse at high concentrations which can be harmful to the skin.

As a natural alternative to Retinol, we recommend Bakuchiol. It has been shown to provide similar benefits to Retinol, such as reducing wrinkles and stimulating collagen production, but with less potential for skin irritation. We have several Bakuchiol products available:

• Pure-Bakuchiol™ (Natural Retinol, 99% Pure, USA)
• Bakuchiol-Eco ™ (Natural Retinol, 98% Pure, India)
• HyaCap™ Bakuchiol/Rose Hip (Encapsulated Capsule)

For Green Tea extract (EGCG), which is an antioxidant, you can consider other powerful antioxidants as alternatives. Some options include:

• Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid): A potent antioxidant that helps brighten the skin, stimulate collagen synthesis, and protect against free radical damage.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): Another effective antioxidant that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress.
• Trans-Resveratrol: A strong antioxidant found in grapes, known for its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and skin brightening properties.

These alternatives offer similar benefits in terms of antioxidant protection and skin improvement. You can choose the one that best suits your formulation needs.

We hope this information is helpful!
