There comes a moment in your skincare journey when your skin is ready for something extraordinary, something legendary. Bakuchiol Renewal Elixir is Ballou’s answer to that moment: a pro-aging, plant-powered ritual designed to support your healthiest, most radiant skin at every stage of life. This certified organic elixir unites bakuchiol, hibiscus, green tea, and a slow infusion of heritage botanicals in a weightless, fine-mist treatment that feels as luxurious as it looks in its amber-and-gold bottle.

Gentle enough for morning and night, Renewal Elixir encourages smoother texture, a more even-looking tone, and a soft, lit-from-within glow, without the common dryness and irritation associated with traditional retinol. Each mist is a moment of nervous-system-soothing aromatherapy, thanks to elemi, copaiba, and geranium essential oils, turning your routine into a grounding ritual rather than just another step.
