Bakuchiol (Cat No.:I000184) is a natural compound found in the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. It is classified as a meroterpene and has gained attention for its potential beneficial effects on the skin. Bakuchiol exhibits several pharmacological actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties. It has been studied as a natural alternative to retinol, a commonly used ingredient in skincare products. Bakuchiol has been shown to stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, it may help in managing various skin conditions, such as acne and hyperpigmentation. Bakuchiol offers a plant-based option for skincare formulations and is considered a gentler alternative to retinol with similar effects.
