Benefits of GINAMARIE’s Nutrient Serum for the Skin

Why the change in the Nutrient Serum when it was exceptional already?

The ingredient, Bakuchiol (pronounced: bah-koo-chee-ole) was first introduced to me by our chemist almost two years ago. It has never been our policy to make rash decisions when it comes to formulating our products, even when certain ingredients seem to be getting quite the talk.  However, this particular ingredient piqued my interest and so the research began. 

Exactly what is this ingredient and what is its value? Bakuchiol, naturally derived from the Babchi plant, used in Chinese medicine has many benefits. The more research, the more value I saw in this ingredient. So, I made the decision to reformulate our Nutrient Serum. I had no interest in adding a new product, as GINAMARIE has always prided itself on being a simple, effective skincare line. I looked at what we had and asked the question, “how can I make a better, more holistic, more effective product? ” The answer to my question was Bakuchiol.

How does this ingredient work? 

An Alternative to Retinol

Retinoic Acid is the gold standard anti-aging ingredient, smoothing lines, and evening skin tone. However, it can also irritate sensitive skin, making it itchy and flaky.  Bakuchiol and Retinol are not structurally similar, yet studies prove that they have similar functionality. They regulate the same proteins in the skin, providing similar results. Furthermore, Bakuchiol stimulates cell growth, diminishes wrinkles, improves elasticity, and smoothes skin without the side effects.

Dark Spots/Hyper-pigmentation

Dark spots on the skin, or hyperpigmentation, occur when some areas of the skin produce more melanin than usual. There are several factors that can contribute to increased melanin production. Sun damage is one of the biggest culprits. In addition, hormonal changes, medication, diabetes, inflammation, wound healing, and irritation to the skin. Bakuchiol helps to lighten dark spots without irritating the skin.

Acne and Healing

Acne is created by bacteria. As a result, the skin becomes inflamed. Bakuchiol has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It calms the skin while healing. 

Bottom Line Results

*Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles

*Faded dark spots

*Brighten dull skin

*Smoother skin texture

*Assist in healing acne 

*And more…

What other ingredients make our newly formulated Nutrient Serum a dynamic must-have product?

We kept several of the active ingredients we had in our original formula niacin (B3), Vitamin E, citrus orange peel oil, and added Bakuchiol, along with another antioxidant, skin-strengthening ingredients such as peptides, green tea leaf extract, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, and shea butter.

How to use:

GINAMARIE’s Nutrient Serum can be used morning night. For dark spots or hyperpigmentation, we recommend applying twice a day to the problem area. Otherwise, using in the evening after a light application of the Herbal E Oil is enough to give your skin the nourishment it needs while you rest. 

If you have not tried our new formulation, I highly recommend it. We are always available to answer any questions you may have. It is pretty incredible how potent one product can be with no side effects. Another reminder that taking a holistic approach to caring for our skin can have profound benefits and results, without the risk of harming the skin.
