Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

Natural Retinol Alternative: Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active sourced from Psoralea corylifolia, which is known to target the same skin cells as retinol. This way, it helps support the appearance of smoother, firmer-looking skin without the sensitivity of traditional retinoids. 

Brightening and Balancing: Bakuchiol contributes to a more even-looking complexion and helps improve the appearance of dull or uneven skin tone, resulting in radiant, healthy-looking skin. 

Gentle and Mild: Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It can be incorporated into both day and night formulations without increasing skin discomfort.


DESCRIPTION 

Bakuchiol is a high-purity cosmetic active that is derived from the Psoralea corylifolia leaves and seeds. A subtly golden, viscous liquid with a characteristic earthy aroma, this ingredient targets an array of skin concerns including acne, dullness, unevenness, and signs of aging. 

Unlike traditional retinoids that can cause irritation and photosensitivity, Bakuchiol targets the same skin cells while maintaining its gentle nature, resulting in smoother skin texture, improved elasticity, and overall skin vitality. Bakuchiol’s rich antioxidant profile also provides further protection from environmental stressors. 

Oil-soluble and alcohol-soluble, Bakuchiol integrates seamlessly into emulsions, anhydrous systems, and oil-based serums, making it a versatile choice for advanced cosmetic formulations focused on age-supportive and complexion-enhancing benefits. 


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE 

  • Facial Serums & Oils: Incorporate 0.5–2% Bakuchiol into the oil phase of facial serums and treatment oils. Ensure uniform dispersion for consistent performance and a smooth skin feel. 

  • Creams & Lotions: Add 0.5–1.5% during the cool-down phase of emulsions to support skin firmness, elasticity, and overall skin appearance while maintaining formulation stability. 

  • Under-Eye Treatments: Use 0.5–1% in eye creams and targeted treatments designed for delicate areas, where gentle yet effective actives are essential. 
  • Advanced Skin Care: Bakuchiol pairs well with hydrating agents, botanical oils, and barrier-supporting ingredients, making it suitable for day creams, night treatments, and minimalist formulations focused on skin comfort.
