Retinol vs. Bio-Retinol… let’s talk about it ✨
As the founder of COCOLOCO, I’ve been asked why we chose true retinol in CocoSilk instead of “bio-retinol.”
Here’s why:
When it comes to the body — thighs, arms, décolleté, breasts — the skin is thicker and requires ingredients that are clinically proven to stimulate collagen, support cellular turnover, and truly improve texture and tone.
Retinol has decades of science behind it.
It’s the gold standard for:
✔ Supporting collagen production
✔ Improving crepey texture
✔ Evening tone
✔ Enhancing smoothness
✔ Encouraging healthy skin renewal
Bio-retinol (plant alternatives like bakuchiol) can be lovely and gentle… but they simply don’t have the same depth of clinical research or collagen-stimulating power as true retinol.
At COCOLOCO, we don’t choose trendy.
We choose proven.
And when retinol is properly formulated in a nourishing, lipid-rich base (like our coconut oil blend), it becomes balanced, supportive, and wearable for the body — not harsh, not stripping.
This isn’t about aggressive anti-aging.
It’s about intelligent skin wellness.
Strong ingredients.
Soft delivery.
Confident skin — everywhere.
COCOLOCO is Bodycare. Everywhere. ✨
