MOLECULAR FORULA: C18H24O

MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 256.3826g/mol

Essential plant-based, anti-aging vitamin A alternative. 
A lightweight, oil-based serum designed to aid in the formation of younger skin uses the gentle power of 1.25% pure bakuchiol. 
Bakuchiol is a clinically proven Bakuchiol alternative that is ideal for those who cannot use vitamin A, such as pregnant and nursing mothers. 
Bakuchiol Peptides are fortified with illuminating peptide precursors that help protect and brighten skin. 
The lilac-colored product is formulated with cica (centella asiatica), an excellent ingredient for soothing inflamed, sensitive skin. 
Photostable Bakuchiol Peptides can be used both day and night for accelerated visible anti-aging results. 
Perfect for those who want to replace vitamin A in their CSA routine.
Bakuchiol, on the other hand, has been shown to have Bakuchiol-like effects, but there is no real reason to link the two, as it does not have the same mechanism of action as vitamin A. 
We find no documented evidence as to why Bakuchiol should be avoided during pregnancy and we would gladly recommend it. 
Effective anti-aging skin care is now also available.
Of course, due to ethical concerns, the Bakuchiol Peptides formula has not been tested on pregnant women, but there is nothing known to be a problem with the formula (e.g. vitamin A or high levels of exfoliating acids). 
Please always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Bakuchiol Peptides help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture and tone. 
The conditioning serum is incredibly soothing and calming on the skin, helping to visibly reduce inflammation and redness. 
Visibly plump and supple, skin feels calm and smooth.
Bakuchiol has short-term photostability, so it can be used in the morning during the day. 
However, we discovered through laboratory tests that bakuchiol only loses its activity when exposed to sunlight for several months. 
That's why we took a double-action preventative approach to keep our formula stable over the long term. 
Bakuchiol Peptides is placed in a UV protected glass bottle which protects its formula from photooxidation which ultimately causes a significant loss of performance, and the UV light stabilizing coating on the bottle targets UV rays without causing any damage, absorbing the high-energy UV light and then dissipating the energy. 
The photo-stabilizer krameria triandra root extract works by absorbing the UV that passes through the packaging, protecting the bakuchiol molecule in the formula.

Bakuchiol is the most effective cosmetic bioactive molecule. 
With regular use, it helps to visibly repair skin problems such as sun damage, fine lines and deep wrinkles, loss of elasticity, skin tone irregularity, blemishes, large pores, redness, acne and acne scars in a very short time. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived molecule, it strengthens the activity of Bakuchiol thanks to its ability to act like Bakuchiol. Peptides stimulate the production of healthy collagen, helping to tighten the skin by restoring its elasticity. 
Bakuchiol is suitable for acne-prone and problematic skin types with its non-oily, lightweight lotion-like formula. 
Bakuchiol is non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic.
Pure Bakuchiol has been proven to be a natural alternative to Bakuchiol, containing plenty of vitamin A.
Bakuchiol doesn’t hurt to use bakuchiol, especially if you have sensitive skin or have a serious routine with multiple topical prescriptions.
Bakuchiol can be used as an entry-level product,” Zeichner adds.

And for those with more resilient skin, you can still mix and match, depending on the products you choose. 
After your skin acclimates, you can add Bakuchiol to the regimen in the future. 
In some cases, you can use both bakuchiol and Bakuchiol together for added benefits.
After all, the ingredients are more alike than different, not one is superior to the other.
Similar, Jaliman highlights, is the keyword most experts use when comparing the two. 
With the right products, you might not even have to pick one or the other.
Bakuchiol does not have to replace it completely, each active ingredient has its properties and benefits, so the important thing is to know what our skin type needs. 
Bakuchiol is an active ingredient with great benefits scientifically proven that correctly formulated and with a proper use can significantly improve the appearance of the skin. 
Bakuchiol, with similar benefits to Bakuchiol, has the advantage of being more convenient for sensitive skin that may present irritation and low tolerance to retinoids.

The best feature of this oil, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines by acting like Bakuchiol, is that it does not create the irritation created by Bakuchiol. 
Thanks to this anti-aging oil, which is suitable for sensitive skin, your skin looks fuller, smoother and tighter.
Bakuchiol has almost the same effect as Bakuchiol (vitamin A): it stimulates the collagen content, allowing for a firmer and plumper skin. 
Bakuchiol is completely natural, does not cause any hypersensitivity, redness or irritation and is suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive. 
Known for its strong softening properties, olive is combined with squalene.
Bakuchiols are powerful and active oils that you can integrate into your daily facial ritual or use directly on the skin.

Bakuchiol Serum is a naturally derived Bakuchiol-alternative serum to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while sealing in hydration. 
Bakuchiol, the key ingredient, is sourced sustainably from the Ayurvedic Babchi plant.
Bakuchiol is an ingredient that is a vegan alternative to Bakuchiol and similarly has age-defying benefits without irritation or dryness.
Revolution Skincare Firming Bakuchiol Eye Cream, formulated with Grape Seed Oil, which gives the skin a silky and soft appearance without feeling greasy, and Shea and Cocoa Seed oil, which helps prevent under-eye dryness and dullness, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and brighten the skin tone.
The plant has a long and impressive skin-care resume, starting with its use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. 
Modern science has taken an interest, too. Bakuchiol has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antibacterial properties,
Sejal Shah, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, tells Allure.

That's exciting news for your skin-care routine, says Shah.
Bakuchiol functions similar to a Bakuchiol, increasing cell turnover thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall photodamage," she says.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that not only did bakuchiol work as well as a Bakuchiol when it came to addressing signs of aging, but that it was also was less irritating. 
A natural, non-irritating alternative to Bakuchiol that's just as powerful? Yes, please. 
(As a bonus, bakuchiol is also a vegan alternative to Bakuchiols, as some forms of it are derived from animal products.)
So, why haven't you heard of bakuchiol before? The natural ingredient started to go mainstream in the skin-care world in the 1970s, Shah says, but it was only until recent research highlighted bakuchiol's effectiveness that it started to gain industry steam. 
For proof, look no further than recent product launches. Earlier this month, Ole Henriksen dropped a bakuchiol-based "retin-ALT" line of products, including the Transform Plus Glow Cycle Retin-ALT Power Serum and the Transform Plus Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Crème.
And out this September is the Strivectin S.T.A.R. Light Bakuchiol Night Oil, which is a lightweight, dry oil made of bakuchiol, along with hydrating squalane and antioxidant-packed chia seed oils, to nourish skin. Not new, but still worth mentioning, is the Omorovicza Miracle Facial Oil, a silky elixir formulated with the superstar ingredient, plus an array of hydrating oils, including sea buckthorn berry, rosehip, and sweet almond.
To work bakuchiol into your skin-care routine, you can use it just like you would a topical retinoid, Zeichner says.
As these products help repair the skin and stimulate collagen, I typically recommend using them in the evening before bed in the form of a serum or night cream, he says. He recommends Biossance Squalane + Phyto-Retinoid Serum, which delivers an ultra-hydrating boost of bakuchiol.
A plant-derived skincare ingredient to help you take on the signs of ageing. From bakuchiol’s skin benefits to how to incorporate it into your routine, find out everything you need to know about this natural ingredient.

Bakuchiol is a vegan skincare ingredient found in the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. 
Bakuchiol is a potent antioxidant, visibly reduces skin discolourations from environmental exposure, and has a pronounced soothing effect on skin. 
Bakuchiol can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which is why you’re seeing it in more skincare products. Bakuchiol has its roots in Chinese Medicine, and the latest research shows topical application has unique benefits for all skin types.
While Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient that is currently used to treat ailments such as vitiligo, the use of plant-derived bakuchiolin has recently emerged.
Some studies show that there is no difference between bakuchiol and Bakuchiol in reducing wrinkles or improving hyperpigmentation. 
However, Bakuchiol users experienced more skin dryness and stinging sensation. 
There is also other research showing that bakuchiolin provides improvement in wrinkles/lines, pigmentation, elasticity and firming.
The marketing of products containing bakuchiol is often done by emphasizing that it is the same as Bakuchiol. 
Bakuchiol is not really a form of Bakuchiol. The two are structurally and chemically quite different. 
Of course, these two molecules act cosmetically similarly, but that doesn't mean they're the same.
Bakuchiol can be a good way to get started with retinoids. Moreover, being vegan is a big plus for many people.

However, comparing Bakuchiol with bakuchioli is not easy in every way. Sometimes natural-source ingredients like bakuchiol are useful, but sometimes synthetic ingredients can be good, too. This may vary from person to person.
Like Bakuchiol, bakuchiol can be a good start or a waste of time. Actually, it depends a little bit on what you're looking for. 
If you're loyal in your relationship with prescription Retin-A, bakuchiol probably isn't for you. 
But if you want to enter the world of retinoids with a gentle, plant-based start, bakuchiol may be for you.

The difference between bakuchiol and Bakuchiol mainly stems from the origins of the two molecules. 
Bakuchiol is obtained from the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia or babchi plant and is used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to treat a variety of ailments. 
On the contrary, Bakuchiol is one of the main forms of vitamin A and a type of vitamin that the body gets from animal products.
This makes bakuchiol products an alternative for vegan or cruelty-free properties not always found in over-the-counter Bakuchiol products.
Although Bakuchiol was first obtained in 1966, it has only just begun to show itself in the cosmetics world. 
Since Bakuchiol is new, there are not many clinical studies showing its effectiveness and side effects. 
But two recent studies on bakuchiol show that bakuchiolin is promising when looking at its anti-aging effects and compared to Bakuchiol.

In a 2014 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, researchers used synthetic skin and collagen cell cultures to test the anti-aging effects of bakuchiolin. 
As a result of the research, bakuchiolin appeared to have similar gene expression and collagen regulation properties as Bakuchiol, at least in false skin and extracorporeal cells.
To see how bakuchiolin worked in real life, 16 participants were administered the 0.5 percent bakuchinol product twice daily for 12 weeks. 
Researchers observed improvements in each category (compared to baseline values, not placebo treatment): including fine lines and wrinkles, roughness, dryness and elasticity, and more. 
In addition, side effects such as irritation, dryness and flaking, which are usually encountered in the beginning with Bakuchiol, were not observed.
The research published by the British Academy of Dermatology in 2018 was slightly more comprehensive and compared the use of bakuchiol and Bakuchiol in humans in a double-blind clinical trial conducted over 12 weeks. 
The study included 44 participants, who received either 0.5 percent bakuchiol twice daily or 0.5 percent Bakuchiol once daily. 
The process on the participants was evaluated by dermatologists who did not know which product was used in which participant.
While improvement was observed in the problems related to hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and redness in both groups, it was observed that there was no statistically significant difference between the application of Bakuchiol twice a day and bakuchiolin twice a day. 
In addition, Bakuchiol was reported that the flaking of the skin was less in the bakuchiol-administered group than in the Bakuchiol-administered group.
The results obtained in clinical studies are usually like this. 
Only one study looked at the use of bakuchiolin in combination with other anti-aging ingredients such as antioxidants. 
However, when we look at the studies in which bakuchiolin is used alone, it is seen that the best results were obtained from the two studies above. 
Looking at these two studies together, bakuchiolin appears to be comparable in function to Bakuchiol and even slightly gentler.

Bakuchiol can be a good way to get started with retinoids. 
Moreover, being vegan is a big plus for many people.
However, comparing Bakuchiol with bakuchioli is not easy in every way. 
Sometimes natural-source ingredients like bakuchiol are useful, but sometimes synthetic ingredients can be good, too. 
This may vary from person to person.
Like Bakuchiol, bakuchiol can be a good start or a waste of time.

If you're loyal in your relationship with prescription Retin-A, bakuchiol probably isn't for you. 
But if you want to enter the world of retinoids with a gentle, plant-based start, bakuchiol may be for you.
Bakuchiol is a meroterpene (a chemical compound having a partial terpenoid structure) in the class terpenophenol.

Bakuchiol was first isolated in 1966 by Mehta et al. from Psoralea corylifolia seed and was called Bakuchiol based on the Sanskrit name, Bakuchi, of the plant.
Bakuchiol is mainly obtained from the seeds of the plant Psoralea corylifolia, which is widely used in Indian as well as in Chinese medicine to treat a variety of diseases.
Bakuchiol has also been isolated from other plants, such as P. grandulosa, P. drupaceae, Ulmus davidiana, Otholobium pubescens, Piper longum and Aerva sangulnolenta Blum.
Even though the first complete synthesis of Bakuchiol has been described in 1973, its first commercial use in topical applications did not occur until 2007 when it was introduced to the market under the trade name Sytenol® A by Sytheon Ltd.
Bakuchiol has been reported to have anticancer activity in pre-clinical models, possibly due to its structural similarity with resveratrol.
One study in rats suggested that bakuchiol and ethanol extracts of the Chinese medicinal plant Psoralea corylifolia could protect against bone loss.
Bakuchiol possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. 

Bakuchiol isolated from P. corylifolia has shown activity against numerous Gram-positive and Gram-negative oral pathogens. It was able to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans under a range of sucrose concentrations, pH values and in the presence of organic acids in a temperature-dependent manner and also inhibited the growth of cells adhered to a glass surface.
Despite having no structural resemblance to Bakuchiol, Bakuchiol was found to have Bakuchiol functionality through Bakuchiol-like regulation of gene expression.
In 2018, a randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical study with 44 volunteers demonstrated that Bakuchiol is comparable with Bakuchiol in its ability to improve photo-aging (wrinkles, hyperpigmentation) but has a better skin tolerance.
Bakuchiol has been found to possess antiandrogenic activity in prostate cancer cells, which inhibited cell proliferation.
Bakuchiol is 100% natural and is extracted from the Babchi seeds.
Against skin aging, bakuchiol has a stimulating effect on collagen production, reduces wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and can increase skin elasticity and strength. 
In acne, Bakuchiol prevents the proxidation of skin lipids by keeping the protective mantle active. 
Bakuchiol controls the overproduction of bacteria on the skin, inhibits pro-inflammatory genes and enzymes, and reduces keratinization of the skin.
In addition, Bakuchiol does not make the skin sensitive to light, so it can also be used safely in the morning. 
Nevertheless, you should not do without sun protection.

Bakuchiol is an all-natural, vegan plant extract. 
Bakuchiol comes from the babchi plant, which is native to India and Sri Lanka, and has historically been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. 
The compound is isolated from babchi seeds and leaves, and then it is commercially purified.
You may have heard that bakuchi seed oil and babchi oil are the same thing, but that's not exactly true. 
Depending on the purification method, they may contain some bakuchiol, but not at the concentration you'd need to reap its benefits. 
So, you specifically want to look for bakuchiol when scanning ingredients lists.

USES:

A clinically proven alternative to Bakuchiol, bakuchiol softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to stimulate collagen and elastin production. 
Incredibly gentle, Bakuchiol is generally suitable for those who cannot tolerate vitamin A.
When needed, apply 2-3 drops to your face, neck and hands for a healthier look. 
You can easily mix this fast-absorbing oil with moisturizers, serums and other oils.
Some online sources indicate that using bakuchiol during pregnancy is fine, stating it’s a great alternative to Bakuchiol, which isn’t advised for use when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
The problem? We don’t have safety data supporting this recommendation bakuchiol is simply too new. On the upside, the chemical difference between bakuchiol and vitamin A is great enough that it’s reasonable to not expect any issues. 
Having said that, if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we advise checking with your health care provider before using bakuchiol products.


APPLICATION:

As the skin gets used to it and the skin's tolerance increases, the frequency of use can be increased gradually, every evening. 
Take half or 1 pump and apply to the face. 
Get another pump for neck, décolleté and hands. 
Then follow with your night moisturizer. 
Bakuchiol is recommended to use a sunscreen of at least SPF30 during the day.

PROPERTIES:

-Scent: Unscented

-Texture: Bouncy, jelly-like water-based serum

-Color: Light purple naturally hued from a blend of naturally derived botanicals including babchi, turmeric, holy basil, basil, and eggplant extracts.


BENEFITS:

According to research published in The British Journal of Dermatology, bakuchiolin is not as effective as Bakuchiol on fine lines and discoloration, but is less irritating. 
Like Bakuchiol, bakuchiol stimulates the production of collagen in skin cells, improving skin health and showing anti-aging properties. 
However, Bakuchiol does not reduce the size of the sebaceous glands, so Bakuchiol does not cause persistent dryness and irritation. 
In addition, unlike Bakuchiol, which makes the skin more sensitive to the sun, bakuchiol helps the skin to be less sensitive to the sun's harmful rays.
Bakuchiolin appears to be a real alternative to Bakuchiol in many studies. 
Results of a 12-week study show that bakuchiol can improve lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, and without the undesirable effects associated with Bakuchiol. 
In addition to its anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties, bakuchiol also provides benefits with its anti-acne properties.

-Evens out skin tone: 

Bakuchiol helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots or hyperpigmented areas by penetrating deep into the skin.

-Reduces the appearance of fine lines: 

Like Bakuchiol, bakuchiol allows your cells to produce collagen, making your skin look fuller and reducing lines and wrinkles.

-Does not cause dryness or irritation: 

Bakuchiol and other skin care ingredients can dry out or irritate your skin. 
Bakuchiol is gentler and does not cause irritation.

-Accelerates cell regeneration: 

Bakuchoil increases collagen production and cell turnover by sending signals to your cells.

-Bakuchiol is safe to use twice a day: 

Bakuchoil is not drying or irritating like Bakuchiol, so you can include it in your morning and evening skin care routine.

-Suitable for all skin types: 

Bakuchioli can be used by anyone, as it is gentle on the skin.

-Helps smooth and heal skin: 

By promoting cell turnover and healthy cell regeneration, bakuchoil helps your skin smooth and heal from the inside out.


HOW TO USE IT:

Skincare products containing bakuchiol extract should be applied to cleansed face and neck. 
Apply your products in the order of thinnest to thickest, so if your bakuchiol product is a lightweight serum it should be applied before your moisturiser. 
If using bakuchiol in the morning follow with a broad-spectrum SPF rated 30 or greater.
Since an increasing number of skincare products contain bakuchiol, you’ll be relieved to know that the product texture doesn’t impact efficacy. 
What counts is the concentration of bakuchiol; research has shown that amounts between 0.5-2% are ideal to get visible benefits.
Choose a bakuchiol serum or lotion-like treatment if you want a lightweight formula that layers easily with other leave-on products in your routine. 

Bakuchiol oil is great for dry, dehydrated skin. 
If using a heavier oil-based formula, it should generally be applied at night, as the last step in your routine.
Bakuchiol is currently only found in serums or lotions and is applied to the skin by applying it. 
Like Bakuchiol, you can use bakuchioli before your usual moisturizer or serum. Because it is gentler than Bakuchiol, you can use it both day and night for maximum effect. 
Although Bakuchoil does not cause your skin to become more sensitive to the sun, you should not neglect to use sunscreen after applying bakuchiol in the morning.
What could be even better? Bakuchoil has no negative interactions with other ingredients used in skin care. 
For example, there are certain products that you should avoid while using Bakuchiol. 
These include exfoliants, toners, and benzoyl peroxide, as they can cause skin irritation. 
However, since bakuchiol is a natural ingredient, Bakuchiol is safe to use with other products you use in your skin care routine.


HOW DOES IT WORK:

Bakuchiol is a clinically proven Bakuchiol alternative; While it has no structural similarity to retinoids molecularly, a recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that Bakuchiol was comparable to Bakuchiol in anti-aging effects and better tolerated than Bakuchiol (read our blog for more). 
Bakuchiol is an excellent alternative for those who cannot use vitamin A. 
Bakuchiol can prevent and repair premature aging, helping to stimulate collagen and elastin production. 
Bakuchiol's ability to minimize melanin synthesis, combined with its ability to block inflammatory pathways in the skin, results in visibly calmed skin and an even skin tone. 
Lipid-soluble brightening peptide precursors easily penetrate the skin, inhibiting the production of pigment in the skin, resulting in visibly brighter, more even-toned skin with less hyperpigmentation. 
Centella asiatica helps stimulate collagen production and is excellent for visibly soothing and calming inflamed, sensitive skin. 
Inca omega oil is rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 and can penetrate cavities in the stratum corneum to repair the skin's natural barrier and prevent moisture loss. 

Bakuchiol has inherent short-term photostability and can be used day and night, while the formula is optimized for true long-term photostability; Infused with krameria triandra root extract, which is in a UV protected glass bottle and is included in the formula as a photostabilizer.
There are some clients who cannot use vitamin A; pregnant and lactating mothers, those with vitamin A sensitivity and those with hypersensitive skin. 
Bakuchiol is an alternative to vitamin A to complement the CSA routine of those who cannot use vitamin A.
Of course, due to ethical concerns, the Bakuchiol Peptides formula has not been tested on pregnant women, but there is nothing known to be a problem with the formula (e.g. vitamin A or high levels of exfoliating acids). If you have any concerns, always consult your doctor.
Bakuchiol has soothing properties which help to comfort skin and minimise issues associated with sensitivity and reactivity. 
Bakuchiol is also a potent antioxidant and helps fight signs of ageing, such as fine lines and loss of firmness by targeting free radicals. 
Antioxidants also help to protect the skin from pollution and environmental stressors which can cause damage.
You may have seen bakuchiol acne skincare products. 
The soothing and calming properties of bakuchiol could help those with acne-prone skin in addition to skin that is beginning to show signs of ageing.
Adding a bakuchiol product to your skincare routine is easy: apply once or twice daily after cleansing, toning, and using a leave-on AHA or BHA exfoliant. 
If the product is a bakuchiol serum, apply before your moisturiser. 
If it’s a moisturiser with bakuchiol, apply after your serum. 
As mentioned above, a bakuchiol oil is best applied at night (or mix a drop or two into one of your favourite non-SPF skincare products each morning).

Bakuchiol is often said to be a natural alternative to Bakuchiol. 
This bakuchiol-Bakuchiol alternative connection is because bakuchiol follows some of the same skin-improving pathways; however, it doesn’t work exactly like this vitamin A ingredient. 
Bakuchiol and bakuchiol can reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing, and it’s perfectly OK to use a product that contains both.
How to do that? Usage would be the same as mentioned above for a leave-on product with bakuchiol. 
Combining Bakuchiol and bakuchiol delivers the overlapping and unique benefits of each, plus bakuchiol has a natural stabilising effect on vitamin A, not to mention its soothing properties can improve skin’s tolerance to various strengths of Bakuchiol.
During the day, finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater. 
Bakuchiol is stable in sunlight and isn’t known to make skin more sun-sensitive but, as with any anti-ageing ingredient, daily UV protection is essential to getting (and keeping) the best results.


WHAT DOES IT DO:

Research has shown that bakuchiol has a range of anti-ageing benefits for skin. 
Bakuchiol can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help restore firmness, refine skin texture and even out skin tone. 
Bakuchiol helps to calm skin making it a good option for those whose skin shows signs of sensitivity.
When paired with Bakuchiol, bakuchiol can help stabilise it and keep it effective for longer. 
Another benefit of using products that contain both bakuchiol and Bakuchiol is that bakuchiol’s calming ability may enable skin to tolerate Bakuchiol in higher amounts.

SUITABLE FOR SKIN TYPES:

-whether dry, 
-sensitive, 
-oily or combination skin. 

Only in exceptional cases such as rosacea or eczema should bakuchiol be used with caution. 
A small dosage is especially important in this case, otherwise it may cause skin spots. 
In general you never do anything wrong by starting with a small dosage and then gradually using more of the bakuchiol cream or oil.


TARGET CONCERNS:

-Dullness/Uneven skin texture
-Fine lines/Wrinkles
-Dryness

Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin types, Bakuchiol works with the skin to refine the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with the power of natural botanicals.
In a Blind Use Test on 106 women, ages 28-35 yrs, consumers reported the following results after 4 weeks of twice-daily use with Bakuchiol Bakuchiol Alternative Smoothing Serum: 

-91% agreed doesn’t cause visible signs of irritation
-85% agreed that their skin looks smoother
-85% agreed that dull skin appearance is reduced
-81% agreed that overall skin appearance is improved
-78% agreed that skin is retexturized

The uniquely bouncy, jelly-textured water-based serum spreads smoothly over skin, instantly providing hydration and leaving skin silky soft. 
Pair with your favorite facial roller for a beautiful glow and lifted appearance. 


FORMULATION:

Bakuchiol is a purely natural and well defined material with a purity of 99%. 
Formulated products containing bakuchiol will be white and will remain white in formulated products. 
Bakuchiol is miscible with a variety of hydrophobic emollients (e.g. capric/caprylic triglycerides, vegetable oils). 
Bakuchiol is dissolved in oil and then added to the formulation after emulsification at about 50°C or lower. 
Alternatively, bakuchiol can be added directly to the oil phase. Avoid heating the oil phase
above 75°C. The final product should preferably have a pH below 6.0. 
A pH value below 5.5 is recommended. 
If potassium sorbate or sodium benzoate are used as preservatives, prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat should be avoided. 
We recommend lightproof packaging.

SIDE EFFECTS:

There is no research showing the unwanted or negative side effects of bakuchiolin. 
Since it is not Bakuchiol, it is likely to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. 
However, Bakuchiol would be safer for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding to wait for further research before using bakuchioli.


SAFETY:

For external use onitly. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and mucous membranes. 
In case of contact, rinse with plenty of water. 
In case of any irritation, stop the use, consult your dermatologist if necessary. 
Bakuchiol is not recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation. 
Apply to undamaged skin as directed. 
Bakuchiol is recommended to do a patch test before use. 
Keep out of reach of children.
