Bakuchiol

A Natural Retinol Alternative for Smoother, Firmer & More Radiant Skin

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active ingredient extracted from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant. Renowned as a natural alternative to retinol, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness without the irritation commonly associated with retinoids.

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, Bakuchiol is widely used in facial serums, creams, facial oils, and anti-aging treatments. It can be used both morning and night and does not increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight like retinol.
