Description
Bakuchiol Product Overview
Bakuchiol (C18H24O) is a pale yellow to amber, oil-soluble liquid extracted and purified from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia (babchi). High-purity grades are tested to keep psoralens, which can sensitize the skin to light, very low.
In addition, cosmetic formulators use it at about 0.5–2% in serums, night creams, eye creams and oils as a gentler alternative to Vitamin A derivatives such as retinol, because it is less irritating and stable in light. Similarly, it is used in products for sensitive skin and in formulations marketed as suitable for daytime use. It combines well with Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) and Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Salt).
Notably, related cosmetic actives in our range include D-Panthenol and Alpha Arbutin.
