Bakuchiol

– INCI Name: BAKUCHIOL

– Origin: Vegetable

Bakuchiol is a natural compound extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, native to Asia. It has established itself as a plant-based alternative to retinol, offering similar benefits but in a gentler and more well-tolerated form. For this reason, it is known as ‘vegan retinol’.

Properties of Bakuchiol in Topical Use:

 

1. Anti-ageing: Stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

2. Firming: Improves skin firmness and elasticity, giving it a smoother, more youthful appearance.

3. Antioxidant: Neutralises free radicals, protecting the skin against premature ageing and environmental damage.

4. Brightener: Helps even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes and hyperpigmentation.

5. Gentle and well tolerated: Unlike retinol, it does not cause irritation, redness or flaking, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

6. Sebum regulator: Helps balance sebum production, benefiting combination and acne-prone skin.

Bakuchiol is a versatile and effective ingredient that combines anti-ageing, antioxidant and balancing properties, making it an excellent choice for formulations designed for mature, sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
