BioChem™️ 1% Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol

Definition
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived antioxidant compound extracted mainly from the seeds and leaves of Psoralea corylifolia(babchi plant). It is a meroterpene phenol known for its retinol-like effects but with a gentler profile, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Benefits

• Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of photoaging.

• Stimulates collagen production and improves skin firmness.

• Offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.

• Comparable to retinol in efficacy but with fewer side effects like peeling or redness.

• Safe for sensitive skin and generally considered suitable during pregnancy.

Uses

• Found in serums, creams, and facial oils for anti-aging and skin renewal.

• Used in morning or evening skincare routines, often without increased photosensitivity.

• Can be combined with other antioxidants and hydrating ingredients for enhanced effects.

FDA Cautions

• No specific FDA restrictions or warnings for bakuchiol as a cosmetic ingredient.

• Purity is important: crude extracts of P. corylifolia may contain phototoxic compounds (psoralens, furocoumarins), so only purified bakuchiol is recommended.

• Rare cases of contact dermatitis have been reported—patch testing is advised.
