Bakuchiol ( Psoralea corylifolia ) is anaturally occurring antioxidant and is a meroterpene (a chemical compound having a partial terpenoid structure) in the class terpenophenol.
It was first isolated in 1966 from Psoralea corylifolia seed and was called Bakuchiol based on the Sanskrit name Bakuchi of the plant.
Bakuchiol is safe for all skin types, ranging anywhere from oily and dry skin to those with more sensitive skin.
Bakuchiol is a plant-based compound often touted as a natural alternative to retinol. It comes from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, commonly known as the Babchi plant. Bakuchiol has gained popularity in skincare for its potential benefits in anti-aging, improving skin texture, and treating acne without the irritation often associated with retinol. Although bakuchiol doesn’t fully function the same way that retinol does, bakuchiol does not disappoint when it comes to results.
