What is Bakuchiol? 

(buh-KOO-chee-ol)

Bakuchiol is found in the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia plant. Stemming from Ayurvedic and Chinese medicinal roots, It serves as a potent antioxidant and effectively addresses skin discolouration and contributes to skin smoothness.2 While commonly featured in skincare tailored for blemish-prone and oily skin, it’s remarkably versatile and suits all skin types. Bakuchiol can take on the task of reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and the visible markers of ageing with efficacy.

How do you use Bakuchiol?

Due to the gentle nature and versatility of bakuchiol, it is widely used as serums, creams and eye creams. However, while bakuchiol is generally well-tolerated, it’s always recommended to conduct a patch test before incorporating any new product into your skincare routine. This helps identify any potential sensitivities.

Bakuchiol seamlessly integrates with most actives, but shines especially when paired with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides, green tea, retinol, and vitamin E.

Can you use Bacuchiol when you’re pregnant?

Despite bakuchiol’s long standing historical use, research on the ingredient is relatively recent. While numerous online sources suggest its safety, there is limited clinical data to substantiate these claims. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we strongly advise consulting with your healthcare provider before incorporating products containing bakuchiol into your skincare routine.
