Bakuchiol

is a plant-based active ingredient derived from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant (also known as babchi). Bakuchiol has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. In modern skincare, bakuchiol has gained popularity and is primarily used in anti-aging products.

Use in Cosmetics: Bakuchiol is used in a wide variety of skincare products, including serums, creams, oils, and lotions. It is often marketed as a natural and skin-friendly alternative to retinol (vitamin A) in anti-aging products, as it offers similar benefits but causes less skin irritation and is purely vegan. However, bakuchiol can also be used in combination with retinol, which supports and enhances the effects of retinol.
