Bakuchiol: A New Botanical Retinol Alternative

Using Bakuchiol in skincare, a plant-based botanical ingredient, became trendy in recent years, because this plant’s oil mimics the effects of vitamin A. Bakuchiol is derived from the Psoralea corylifolia plant, which is native to India and has been utilized in Ayurvedic practices as well as traditional Chinese medicine due to its anti-inflammatory properties.Several studies have shown that Bakuchiol effectively addresses signs of ageing and reduces hyperpigmentation. The results are comparable to those of Retinol, but without the flaking or irritation often associated with vitamin A use.
