Nature’s Answer to Niacinamide, Retinol & More : Gentle, Effective Skincare

When it comes to organic skincare, achieving results without irritation is key. At Organic Lab, we’re passionate about blending plant-powered ingredients that deliver real results, free from common irritants. Here, we’re exploring some of the wellness and beauty industry’s buzziest ingredients—like niacinamide and retinol—and sharing how Neal’s Yard Remedies and Jurlique offer certified organic alternatives with added skin-soothing benefits.

Niacinamide Alternatives | Vitamin B3: Brightening + Hydrating

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is loved for its ability to brighten, hydrate, and support skin renewal, reducing visible signs of aging. However, it can sometimes cause sensitivity.

Our gentle alternative?

Rosehip Oil – Found in both Neal’s Yard Remedies and Jurlique formulations, this vitamin-rich oil mimics niacinamide’s brightening and hydrating benefits. It helps even out skin tone, supports collagen production, and deeply nourishes the skin, all while being gentle enough for even the most sensitive complexions.

Retinol Alternatives | Vitamin A: Skin Smoothing + Collagen Boosting

Retinol is known for boosting cell renewal and collagen production, promoting youthful skin. However, it can be too harsh for some, and it’s not recommended during pregnancy.

Our natural alternatives?

Bakuchiol – Found in Neal’s Yard Remedies' Frankincense Intense™ Age-Defying Serum and Jurlique’s Herbal Recovery Signature Serum, Bakuchiol provides retinol-like effects without irritation. It promotes firmer, smoother skin while being gentle on sensitive skin types.

Rosehip Oil – Packed with natural Vitamin A, it enhances skin elasticity, improves tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Alfalfa Extract – Found in Jurlique’s Nutri-Define Supreme Serum, this botanical extract supports skin renewal and elasticity, making it a gentle yet effective retinol alternative.

Retinol of the Sea (Marine Algae Extract) – A key ingredient in Jurlique’s Purely Age-Defying Face Oil, this plant-derived alternative mimics the skin-smoothing and firming effects of retinol while delivering deep hydration and nourishment.

Vitamin C | Brightening + Collagen Support

Vitamin C is a powerhouse for brightening skin, reducing pigmentation, and defending against environmental stressors.

Our go-to choice?

Neal’s Yard Remedies Vitamin C Booster – A potent blend featuring stabilized Vitamin C that boosts radiance and supports skin renewal.
Jurlique Brightening Serum – A lightweight, high-performance serum that helps even skin tone and enhance luminosity.
Jurlique Brightening Lotion – A hydrating lotion that improves skin clarity while delivering long-lasting moisture.

Hyaluronic Acid Alternatives | Hydration + Elasticity

Sodium Hyaluronate, a form of Hyaluronic Acid, deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.

Natural alternatives?

Neal’s Yard Remedies Hyaluronic Acid Booster – A lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that helps replenish moisture and improve skin elasticity.

Marshmallow Root Extract – Found in Jurlique’s Activating Water Essence, this botanical hydrates deeply and enhances moisture retention.

Aloe Vera – Used in Neal’s Yard Remedies’ Rehydrating Rose Toner, Aloe Vera is a natural humectant that soothes and replenishes skin hydration.

Rosehip | Vitamin A + B Alternative

Rosehip Oil is an antioxidant powerhouse, naturally rich in Vitamins A, C, and E, supporting skin renewal and hydration.

Key products:

Neal’s Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Serum – Delivers intense nourishment and visibly improves skin tone and texture.

Neal’s Yard Remedies Organic Rosehip Oil – A lightweight yet deeply hydrating oil that enhances elasticity and promotes a youthful glow.
