Many people were asking for products with Retinol because of how effective it is. So, when first formulating face care products I did add it to 2 products. But I din't feel good about it for two reasons.
Main reason being it's synthetic. The other reason is I have been hearing about how many side effects there are with Retinol.
I've removed other ingredients due to a large number of sensitivities. One ingredient I removed was coconut oil. So many natural products have coconut oil and a lot of people were telling me they can't use natural products because they are allergic. So I found alternatives.
Moving forward my products will not have synthetic Vitamin A.
The alternative I found is being recognized for its powerful skin rejuvenating properties but has no known side effects. This oil is called bakuchiol oil.

Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. It promotes cell turnover, leading to smoother skin texture and a more even skin tone, while also reducing hyperpigmentation. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is less likely to cause irritation, redness, or dryness, making it a good option for those with sensitive skin. Bakuchiol can help improve the skin's barrier function, leading to better moisture retention.
The products that have bakuchiol oil are Smooth & Firm Tightening Cream, Graceful Glow Night Cream and Youth Revival Night Serum.

My hobby became a business because of my valued followers like you. It's very important to me to know what people want. Please feel free to reach out to me and share what products you would love to see. If you have used any TSF products I would love to hear your experience. The good and the bad. These products are made for YOU. So if they are not working for you I want to know.
