Most clean beauty advocates avoid retinol because of the ingredients that are used to stabilize it and [Naturopathica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oncologysafe-products) is introducing a new [clean retinol skincare collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retinoid-collection). As Naturopathica describes, the new skincare collection centers on "proprietary retinol, clean of petrochemicals and contaminants for pure wrinkle results without irritation." The four-piece retinol skincare collection includes the Holy Basil & Retinol Ageless Night Oil, the Passion Fruit Retinol Ageless Eye Serum and two kinds of creams for visibly diminishing signs of aging.

The collection was inspired by bakuchiol, a [natural retinol alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lotus-aroma-face-oil), and the products in Naturopathica's new skincare collection explore the relationship between synthetic retinol and plant-based bakuchiol to keep the skin feeling calm and not irritated.
