With kids heading back to school and the leaves changing color, fall is all about new beginnings. And since we’re on the topic of fresh starts, the introduction of a new skin care ritual can be a welcome change. While autumn marks the end of the glowy, sunny days of summer, there’s no reason the radiance of the past few months can’t extend into the fall. With that in mind, we introduce our new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Collection, a powerful combination of ingredients designed to smooth, hydrate and protect your skin.

What Is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is an extract derived from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant, which has been used in Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines for hundreds of years to help heal, calm and soothe the skin, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. What makes bakuchiol so exciting in the world of skin care is that it mimics conventional retinol in a number of ways.
A quick refresher: Conventional retinol is a form of vitamin A with many applications in skin care. It helps unclog pores, exfoliates skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a fresh, plump appearance, among many other benefits. It’s a powerful and effective ingredient. Unfortunately, it can be harsh on the skin. Side effects like peeling, redness, itching, burning and dry skin are common. And while many of these uncomfortable issues are temporary, those with sensitive skin should stay away. Conventional retinol also makes skin super photosensitive, meaning that not only should it be used exclusively at night; any sun exposure after retinol application can cause burns and other skin irritation.
This is why bakuchiol is such a game-changer. This retinol alternative includes all the benefits of conventional retinol (minimizing pores and inflammation, increased collagen production, exfoliation, improved appearance of lines and wrinkles) without the negative side effects. Not only does this plant extract reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, refine skin texture and even out skin tone in a gentle yet effective way, it can be used day and night, without the peeling and redness associated with conventional retinol.
What Is Niacinamide?
In the context of skin care, niacinamide is a topical version of Vitamin B3. Used as an active ingredient in many products, this water-soluble vitamin has a number of functions including helping to lock in hydration, minimizing the look of large pores, improving uneven skin tone, softening the appearance of fine lines, brightening skin, regulating oil production, strengthening a weak barrier and boosting cell-building proteins in the skin. In other words, it’s a major skin care multitasker.
Bakuchiol and niacinamide are a power couple — and they’re even stronger and more effective when used together. So it made sense to combine the two for this new collection. Read on to find out more about the new Eminence Organics products hitting shelves and how they can work in skin care routines. We’ve broken it down by skin type and created a ritual designed just for your needs.
A Fall Routine For Your Skin Type With Bakuchiol And Niacinamide
We all have different skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with excessive oil, sensitive skin or an overly dry complexion, your skin will benefit from different products and ingredients. Both bakuchiol and niacinamide are well tolerated by all skin types and can be combined with other ingredients for optimal results. Watch and learn how to achieve the ageless skin you crave with the help of our new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Collection and then jump to your skin type to discover a fall routine that is tailored to your skin’s specific needs.

Dry Skin Routine
If your skin is dry, you’re a great candidate for bakuchiol. As mentioned, it boasts many of the same benefits as conventional retinol but without the peeling, drying and irritation. And niacinamide is a major hydrator, making it another no-brainer for dry skin.
Cleanser
Start with the Firm Skin Acai Cleanser to help hydrate dry skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid and seabuckthorn oil. And because it’s a cream cleanser, it will leave the skin feeling hydrated, noticeably smoother and revitalized.
Toner
Spray Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist directly on to the face and neck, leaving the skin feeling clear, fresh and ready to absorb the rest of your skin care.
Concentrate
The bamboo and coconut ingredients found in the Bamboo Firming Fluid deeply hydrate the skin with the help of a Natural Retinol Alternative and Swiss Green Apple Stem Cells.
Moisturizer
The Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer smooths the look of wrinkles while visibly firming skin and minimizing large pores and uneven texture with no irritation. And its lightweight gel cream formula leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated.
Eye Cream
Apply the versatile Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream day and night to provide long-lasting hydration and visibly improve the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.
SPF
Last and definitely not least (aka, the step you can’t skip): Our new Radiant Protection SPF Fluid is an all mineral sunscreen that helps protect skin from the harsh effects of the sun while smoothing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With a hydrating, nourishing feel and dewy finish, this SPF keeps skin looking ageless while offering broad spectrum SPF 30 protection, perfect for dry skin.
Combination Skin Routine
Your skin is a bit of a mixed bag, which is why a routine tailored especially for combo skin is super important. This one has been designed with your unique needs in mind.
Cleanser
Mix a small amount of Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser with water in hands, apply and massage gently with fingertips in a circular motion covering the face and neck areas for a clear, smooth and radiant complexion.
Toner
Energize and revitalize the skin with a couple of sprays of the Mangosteen Revitalizing Mist on your face and neck. You’ll get a dose of potent antioxidants and skin will feel energized, pores will look minimized.
Serum
Firm and tighten the appearance of your skin with the Cornflower Recovery Serum. Just a few drops applied to your face and neck will leave you hydrated but not oily.
Moisturizer
Our new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer is a lightweight gel cream formulated with the unique combination of bakuchiol and niacinamide to restore skin’s natural hydration. This pairing smooths the look of wrinkles and uneven texture while visibly firming skin and minimizing large pores with no irritation.
Eye Cream
The Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream de-puffs tired eyes, smooths wrinkles and minimizes the appearance of dark undereye circles. The cooling, stainless steel rollerball applicator massages hibiscus and ice wine actives into the areas around the eye, appearing to instantly tighten and lift the skin.
SPF
Our new Radiant Protection SPF Fluid is an all mineral sunscreen that helps protect skin from the harsh effects of the sun while smoothing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With a hydrating, nourishing feel and dewy finish, this SPF keeps skin looking ageless while offering broad spectrum SPF 30 protection, perfect for combination skin.
Oily Skin Routine
Oily skin can be a blessing and a curse. Products containing oil can add to the shiny slickness of it, but you don’t want to dry it out completely either. It’s a delicate balance, and we’ve created a routine to help achieve that.
Cleanser
The Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser is a clarifying cream gel cleanser that treats oily and problem skin with cucumber and tea tree oil. Sweet almond milk and yogurt reduce the visible signs of problem skin and breakouts without stripping the skin of moisture.
Toner
Tropical and vibrant, the Pineapple Refining Tonique smells like fresh pineapple juice! This daily formula combines gentle bromelain and PHA to exfoliate all skin types, including sensitive. Chemical exfoliation may sound daunting, but PHA and bromelain are gentle enough to get the job done without irritation.
Serum
Apply a thin layer of the Eight Greens Youth Serum over the entire face to help hydrate the skin without adding any oil.
Moisturizer
The Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer works well for all skins, smoothing wrinkles while visibly firming skin and minimizing large pores and uneven texture with no irritation. However, oily skin types may prefer the Echinacea Recovery Cream, which hydrates the skin and reduces the visible signs of aging. If a lighter application is more suited to your skin, emulsify a small amount in your hand with a few drops of water before applying over the entire face.
Eye Cream
A thin layer of the Neroli Age Corrective Eye Serum will help the epidermis appear tighter and firmer while increasing moisture levels around the eyes. This is a favorite among customers. Website reviewer CTay calls it “Epic! Best eye cream ever,” saying it “solves all problems and looks great under makeup. The best. Eyes look so youthful after using this. Will use this forever! You won’t regret it.”
SPF
Protect skin with this broad-spectrum UVA and UVB SPF, enhanced with Vitamin C-rich lilikoi (aka passionfruit). The Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40 uses zinc oxide to provide sun protection. This formula also contains cocoa seed extract and satsuma mandarin peel, which help improve the look of skin exposed to environmental stressors like blue light and pollution. Perfect year-round, which is exactly when you should be wearing SPF!
Normal Skin Routine
Just because your skin is labeled “normal” doesn’t mean it requires less attention. Sure, it may not break out without warning or react to any new products you try, but it still needs to be treated with special care.
Cleanser
Start with the Monoi Age Corrective Exfoliating Cleanser, a gentle exfoliating cleanser that not only removes dirt, oil and makeup, but also helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It combines physical and chemical exfoliation to help refine skin’s texture, and it washes away impurities and removes surface debris.
Toner
Spray Neroli Age Corrective Hydrating Mist directly on to face and neck, for skin that feels clear and fresh and ready to absorb the rest of your skin care.
Serum
Apply a thin layer of the Firm Skin Acai Booster-Serum over the entire face and your skin will appear firmer, revitalized and plump, while signs of aging are visibly reduced.
Moisturizer
Our new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer is a lightweight gel cream formulated with a powerful combination of bakuchiol and niacinamide. This pairing smooths the look of wrinkles and uneven skin texture while visibly firming skin and minimizing large pores, with no irritation.
Eye Cream
Apply the versatile Marine Flower Peptide Eye Cream day and night to provide long-lasting hydration and visibly improve the appearance of wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles.
SPF
Our new Radiant Protection SPF Fluid is an all mineral sunscreen with broad spectrum protection. Made with a combination of bakuchiol and niacinamide, this hydrating fluid helps smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and provides a dewy finish.
Sensitive Skin Routine
Treating sensitive skin requires a little extra TLC. Lucky for you, the new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Collection was designed with your skin type in mind.
Cleanser
Pump a small amount of Kombucha Foaming Cleanser to transform the liquid into a lightweight foam. Apply to skin and massage gently with fingertips in a circular motion then rinse.
Essence
It’s all about balance with sensitive skin and the Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence works harmoniously to enhance the appearance of luminosity and gently primes the skin ahead of your full skin care ritual. Dispense a small amount of product in your hands or on a cotton pad and pat it onto cleansed and toned skin, leave on and your skin will be nourished, hydrated and primed for the next steps.
Oil
The Facial Recovery Oil is a toning and hydrating oil created with precious herbs and nourishing oils to renew sensitive and aging skin. This is a luxurious facial oil, nicknamed “liquid gold” by some of our more passionate customers.
Moisturizer
A lightweight gel cream, the new Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer is formulated with the unique combination of bakuchiol and niacinamide to help smooth wrinkles while visibly firming skin and minimizing the look of large pores and uneven texture with no irritation.
Eye Cream
Gently apply a thin layer of the Bearberry Eye Repair Cream to the eye contour area until absorbed. This ultra-hydrating eye cream with bioactive ingredients hydrates and nourishes the appearance of the skin around the fragile eye contour area. Meadow eyebright, hop and bearberry help to reduce the visible signs of aging.
SPF
Finally, our new Radiant Protection SPF Fluid is a hydrating all mineral sunscreen that helps protect skin from the harsh effects of the sun while smoothing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Its nourishing feel and dewy finish help keeps skin looking ageless while offering broad spectrum SPF 30 protection.
