DESCRIPTION: This is a natural and safe alternative to retinol (Vitamin A), a 100% plant-based extract of the Babchi plant. Bakuchiol is an active ingredient derived from Psoralea corylifolia (babchi seeds) and is different from the whole oil which is also available on the market as bakuchi (or babchi) oil. It imparts the benefits of retinol but without the safety concerns that Retinol has. One of its great advantages is its photostability which makes it suitable for day applications.

Bakuchiol is known to enhance the skin’s natural defense mechanism against oxidative stress. It also diminishes inflammatory factors that disrupt the skin’s natural protective mechanisms and helps improve collagen synthesis. It’s also quite important in helping the skin activate anti-aging genes.
Bakuchiol is further beneficial in anti-acne preparations because of its sebum reduction properties, bacteria over-population inhibition, and a reduction in pro-inflammatory targets.
In one clinical study, Bakuchiol showed the following improvements after 12 weeks of use. (Used with Dimethyl Isrosobide, Pentylene glycol and propylene glycol which serve as penetration enhancers)
