Lang Wellness Retinol Alternative Moisturizer
A daily face moisturizer formulated with Bidens Pilosa extract (a plant-based alternative to retinol), hyaluronic acid, and nourishing plant oils. Designed as a gentler option for those who want to avoid traditional retinol irritation. Suitable for all skin types.
What's In It:
• Bidens Pilosa Extract: A plant extract used as an alternative to retinol. Bidens Pilosa (also called Spanish needle) is included in this formula as a gentler option compared to traditional vitamin A derivatives like retinol.
• Organic Aloe Vera Leaf Juice: The main ingredient in this moisturizer. Aloe provides a hydrating, soothing base.
• Organic Jojoba Seed Oil: A lightweight oil that closely resembles skin's natural oils. Absorbs easily and helps moisturize without feeling greasy.
• Hyaluronic Acid (Two Types): Includes sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid—both are moisture-binding ingredients that help keep skin hydrated throughout the day.
• Sodium PCA: A component naturally found in healthy skin that helps attract and hold moisture.
• Glycerin (made using organic ingredients): One of the most effective moisturizing ingredients. Pulls water to the skin and helps keep it there.
• Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract (organic): A botanical ingredient from bright orange berries. Contains natural vitamins and fatty acids.
• Mango Seed Butter (organic): A plant butter that provides creaminess and moisturizing properties to the formula.
• Murumuru Seed Butter: A butter from the Amazon rainforest that helps create the moisturizer's smooth texture.
• Peptide (Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline): A small protein fragment used in skincare formulations.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that helps protect the formula and provides antioxidant benefits to skin.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate): A fat-soluble form of vitamin C used as an antioxidant in this cream.
• Rose Myrtle Fruit Extract: A botanical extract from an Australian plant.
What It Does:
This moisturizer is designed to hydrate and nourish your skin daily. The combination of aloe juice, plant oils, and butters creates a moisturizing cream that absorbs into skin without feeling heavy.
How to Use It:
- Apply to clean, dry face and neck
- Use morning and/or evening as your daily moisturizer
- Can be applied over serums if you use them
- A dime-sized amount is usually enough for face and neck
Layering in Your Routine:
- Morning: Cleanser → Toner (optional) → Serum (optional) → This Moisturizer → Sunscreen
- Evening: Cleanser → Toner (optional) → Serum (optional) → This Moisturizer
Best For:
• All skin types looking for daily hydration • Those who find retinol too irritating • Anyone wanting a moisturizer with plant-based ingredients • Normal to dry skin (may be slightly rich for very oily skin)
What to Expect:
The moisturizer should absorb within a minute or two, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated. It has a creamy texture from the plant butters and oils but shouldn't feel greasy once absorbed.
Important Notes:
• Contains fragrance: From natural essential oils including geraniol, linalool, citronellol, and citral. If you have sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities, patch test first.
• Contains essential oils: Some people's skin reacts to essential oils. Test on a small area first if you're unsure.
• For external use only: Avoid contact with eyes.
• Patch test recommended: Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours before using on your face if you have reactive skin.
About Retinol Alternatives:
Traditional retinol (a form of vitamin A) is well-studied for skin benefits but can cause irritation, redness, peeling, and sun sensitivity. Plant-based alternatives like Bidens Pilosa are formulated to provide benefits without the harsh side effects. However, they work differently than retinol and shouldn't be expected to produce identical results.
Sunscreen is Essential:
Regardless of what moisturizer you use, always apply sunscreen during the day. Sun protection is the most important step in any skincare routine.
