Product reviews from our experts…

Potent and pure, this is the kind of formula I love to treat my skin with the highest percentage of Bakuchiol I’ve come across. This oil worked wonders on my dry skin and I could feel how much more hydrated my skin was particularly after cleansing. Retinol’s plant based sister is a little like mother nature’s secret formula, such a great choice for when you care about what you put on your skin! The combo of oils in this one is primo – It’s love!

I also LOVE their ability to keep it simple and make a beautiful product as an Australian social enterprise. I have nothing but support and well wishes for their continued success.

–Amy Hughes

I love that this product provides a high strength Bakuchiol component, allowing each use of the serum to feel impactful. The delicate scent and silky feel of the organic elixir also make for a truly satisfying self-care experience!

I am so impressed to learn that Inka Skincare Apothecary creates job opportunities for survivors of abuse and underprivileged families and that 100% of profits go towards supporting not-for-profit organizations in Australia.
