Bakuchiol

NOT TO BE APPLIED DIRECTLY TO SKIN

Bakuchiol is a 100% natural active ingredient obtained from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia (babchi plant). Widely recognised as a botanical alternative to retinol, it offers similar effects but is generally considered gentler and more suitable for sensitive skin.

About Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is said to support healthy skin by encouraging cell turnover, which can contribute to a smoother, more even complexion. It is commonly used in anti-ageing formulations to help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Studies suggest it may also support collagen production, helping to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Its antioxidant properties are known to assist in protecting skin from free radical damage, which can contribute to premature ageing.

Unlike traditional retinoids, bakuchiol is generally well tolerated and less likely to cause irritation, peeling, or dryness. It is also not linked to photosensitivity, making it suitable for both day and night skincare formulations.

I make a beautiful moisturizer with bakuchiol. I have been told by my friends that it's the best cream they have ever used. That's pretty wow!
