Packaging
Our glass containers are 100% recyclable, and closures use 50% PCR plastic (varies by availability). Boxes, inserts, and shipping materials are compostable, made with FSC-certified/recycled paper and soy-based ink. Every product also has a plastic-free option and zero-waste refills.

How to recycle
For a zero-waste choice, get a refill. Each comes in a glass bottle with an aluminum lid. Swap your old closure onto the new bottle, then recycle the empty glass and lid! If not refilling, wash, remove the label, and recycle the glass. Take apart closures and check local recycling guidelines—small pieces (like closure elements and label backing) can be recycled through PACT Collective or be discarded. All boxes and shipping materials can be composted, reused, or recycled.

Anchor uses 8 powerful, plant-based retinol alternatives that provide all the benefits of a 1% traditional retinol serum (Vitamin A) without the irritation. While it functions differently than Vitamin A, we've combined various types of retinol alternatives that work synergistically to deliver the same results—helping to smooth fine lines, boost skin elasticity, and promote a youthful glow, but in a gentler, non-sensitizing way. Perfect for those seeking a more soothing yet effective option.
Anchor uses 4% of 8 proven, plant-based retinol alternatives to deliver maximum benefits. While most retinol alternatives on the market use 0.5-1% of a single type, our formula ensures you get the full power of these ingredients, making it equivalent to the efficacy and potency of a 1% traditional retinol serum. Since these ingredients are non-sensitizing, we can safely use a higher concentration, helping to smooth fine lines, firm skin, and enhance radiance, without irritation.
Yes, Anchor can be used with other Earth Harbor products that contain bio-retinol alternatives, like Mermaid Moon, Siren Silk, and Samphire. Each product is designed to complement the others with unique functions and actives. While Anchor Serum focuses on smoothing fine lines and boosting youthful glow, Mermaid Moon Balm Cream hydrates and restores the skin barrier, Siren Silk Cream offers healthy aging hydration and calming benefits, and Samphire Serum targets skin clarity and refining texture. Together, these products help you achieve maximum benefits by addressing different aspects of skin health and radiance without overwhelming your skin.
Yes, Anchor pairs well with most skincare routines. We recommend applying it after cleansing and toning, followed by a moisturizer. If using other actives or traditional retinol, we suggest introducing them gradually and alternating with Anchor to avoid overwhelming your skin for best results.

Yes, Anchor can be used both day and night, and it’s gentle enough for daily use right from the start—twice a day for best results. Unlike traditional retinol, there's no need to work up to it, and it won’t cause irritation or sensitivity. Plus, it doesn't increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, so you can safely use it both day and night without worrying about sun exposure. It's perfect for all skin types, including sensitive ones.
Anchor combines 8 powerful retinol alternatives at 4% to deliver a full spectrum of benefits, unlike most serums that rely on just one ingredient or only use up to 1% of a single retinol alternative. This multi-pronged approach creates a more potent, synergistic effect that mimics the benefits of traditional retinol, while being gentler on the skin and avoiding the irritation often associated with Vitamin A.
Yes! Anchor is non-sensitizing, making it ideal for sensitive skin types. It’s packed with calming ingredients to ensure a smooth, irritation-free experience.
Anchor is pregnancy-friendly, offering all the benefits of retinol without the concerns. Always consult your doctor, but this formula is a great option during pregnancy.

So happy with this product! This serum is packed with all the lovely ingredients you want in an alternative treatment. I personally don't want to put any harsh, burning, synthetic product on my skin! This serum gives the same outcome without all the harsh side effects!

Nice serum
I found this while looking for a clean Bakuchiol serum to use during pregnancy and this is a great one. It’s hydrating and plumping. Does not erase my wrinkles but definitely seems to smooth them a bit.
