About Bakuchiol Featuring Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt

· Leave a Comment

We previously featured Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt, a skin-loving combo of Probiotics and Bakuchiol. Today we look closely at how the Bakuchiol in Tropical Melt gives Retinol results without retinol irritation.

About Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is derived from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant.

Bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative. It is plant-based, non-irritating, and clinically proven statistically as effective as retinol. Bakuchiol improves photoaging, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation equally as well as retinol, but Bakuchiol is better tolerated. [1]

It stimulates collagen within the skin, as well as significant improvement in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, and firmness without the retinol-associated side effects. [2]

Bakuchiol inhibits melanin production on age spots and acne scars [3]. Bakuchiol helps with acne.[4]

Bakuchiol is a plant-based phenol that decreases wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Studies show that gentle, natural bakuchiol holds its’ own against Retinol.

Retinol looks emollient but dries the skin, whereas bakuchiol hydrates

Retinol looks emollient but dries the skin, whereas bakuchiol hydrates

Bakuchiol Research

“Our study demonstrates that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoaging and is better tolerated than retinol.” [5]

One randomized, double-blind, clinical study compared retinol and bakuchiol. There was no statistical difference between how each decreased wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. But the retinol users reported facial skin scaling and stinging. [6]

A second study confirmed the Retinol-like functionality of bakuchiol. It also documented the stimulation of collagen within the skin. Bakuchiol was used twice a day for 12 weeks. The result was a significant improvement in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, and firmness without the retinol-associated side effects. [7]

About Tropical Melt

Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt is an excellent multi-tasker to address wrinkles, acne, discoloration, and acne.

Apply this multi-tasking balm to damp skin and use it as a cleanser, makeup remover, mask, or leave-on treatment. We love the retinol results AND how skin still feels so supple, hydrated, and smooth!

Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt Why We Love the Benefits

· Leave a Comment

UPDATED JUNE 2025: REVIEW: Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt with Bakuchiol 

We love multi-tasking products that truly work, so we adore Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt.

This clean beauty balm is a hydrating cleanser, moisturizer, mask, and leave-on treatment. We love a thin layer as daily hydration and repairing treatment and a heavier layer as a soothing mask.

Who is Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt Good for?

Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt works for anyone who experiences both acne and signs of aging.

It helps to fade existing acne scars and fight the formation of new acne.

It is also great for anyone with sensitive skin.

Those of us with sensitive skin have a hard time tolerating the side effects of retinol. Even with retinol buffering, some find retinol too harsh.

It can be worn during the day and will not cause redness or peeling.

THE Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt Clean Beauty Ingredients

This clean formulation is loaded with powerhouse ingredients:

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative.

What are the benefits of bakuchiol?

  • It is plant-based, non-irritating
  • clinically proven statistically as effective as retinol.
  • Bakuchiol improves photoaging, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation equally as well as retinol.
  • It stimulates collagen within the skin. This causes an improvement in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, and firmness without the retinol-associated side effects.
  • Bakuchiol inhibits melanin production on age spots and acne scars.

Kakadu Plum is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals.

Probiotics are beneficial strains of live bacteria. When applied topically, it can reduce acne formation.

Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil: forms the lipid barrier that holds moisture in skin cells. This keeps skin hydrated.

Grape Seed Oil is soothing and nourishing to the skin. It contains building blocks for collagen production

Sunflower Seed Oil

 Sunflower Seed Oil holds moisture in the skin. It is rich in vitamin E.

Jojoba Oil: regulates oily skin, removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation, and soothes skin

Apricot Seed Oil: has nourishing and moisturizing properties. It easily absorbs into the skin

Watermelon Seed Oil is an outstanding antioxidant. It is a nutritive oil. It is high in unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic and oleic acids. Watermelon oil protects the skin from oxidative stress and photo-aging.

And several more incredible ingredients! This balm is incredibly well crafted!

THE Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt EXPERIENCE

Immediately after applying this silky balm, my skin looked plump and absolutely glowed.

With continued use, my fine lines have become unnoticeable. My redness has reduced, and my skin texture is much smoother.

But first, more on the lipstick itself and the color payout.

What Makes Caley Cosmetics lipstick Special

Not just pretty for natural lipstick, they are just pretty, no qualifiers. I’d pick these shades if they weren’t natural. There are fifteen shade choices.

Caley Cosmetics Color Wave Natural Lipstick provides a precise tube form application with excellent pigmented color payout.

While we love the idea of a natural lipstick, in our experience, the options from other brands are generally more like a tinted or sheer balm in chapstick style tube form. These have their place in a casual, barely-there hint of color looks. But they lack the grown-up sophistication of a precise application lipstick formulation. The tube balm formulation tends to be messy or overly dry. I personally am underwhelmed with limited color choices from other brands. Another issue is my lips are thinner and can use the definition of a tube lipstick, not an imprecise balm.  That effortless look takes a lot of effort for me to look presentable. Caley Cosmetics Color Wave Natural Lipstick gives a finished, refined look, and fills a place in the market with a natural lipstick that is simply a great lipstick.

It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
  • Persea Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils, so it works well with other ingredients. Avocado Oil absorbs easily, making it an ideal moisturizer for dry, chapped skin.
  • Sesame Seed Oil is full of fatty acids, vitamins, and nutrients. Full of antioxidants, it has a very thick and rich texture. It absorbs exceptionally well and seeps into the skin, making it soft and silky.

  • Jasmine Oil supports skin elasticity by preventing elastin degradation in the skin. It is high in antioxidants.
  • Hibiscus Flower Extract promotes collagen
  • Pineapple Fruit contains fruit extracts that are effective exfoliants to sloughs off dead cells on the surface of the skin while imparting soothing skin benefits.
