The European Union’s recent decision to ban the use of retinol in high concentrations from 2025 has left many skincare lovers on edge. However, instead of panicking, it’s the perfect time to explore equally effective alternatives!
Byoode, a brand dedicated to innovation and sustainability in cosmetics , offers skincare solutions that rival the benefits of retinol, without the associated side effects.
Changes in Retinol regulation
To clarify, the ban does not mean the complete elimination of retinol, but its concentration will be restricted to a maximum of 0.3% in facial products. This includes pure retinol and its derivatives, such as acetates and palmitates. However, other safer retinoids, such as retinal and r-retinoate, will still be available, meaning consumers can still enjoy the benefits of vitamin A without worrying about irritation.
Natural and effective alternatives in Byoode
While retinol is known for its renewing and anti-aging properties, there are natural ingredients in Byoode's repertoire that offer similar, and some even superior, benefits. Here are two of the standouts:
Okra: The natural softener
Okra, a star ingredient in the Hyaluronic & Okra Allegory serum, has a smoothing power that makes it comparable to retinoids.
This vegetable not only balances the skin, but also has healing properties that make it an ideal choice for acne sufferers. In regions such as Nepal, okra is traditionally used to treat wounds and skin problems. With its ability to soothe and regenerate, okra is positioned as an excellent substitute for retinol.
Copper Gluconate: The Power of the Mineral
Copper gluconate, present in the Watercress & Copper Lyric serum , is another ingredient that you cannot ignore.
This mineral is essential for the synthesis of collagen and elastin, two essential components for keeping the skin firm and elastic. In addition, copper gluconate has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radicals and improve its texture, providing a deeply renewing action.
Watercress & Copper Lyric not only combines these ingredients, but also includes niacinamide, known for its soothing and antioxidant properties, making it a brightening serum that calms and revitalises the skin.
