What It Is

Bakuchiol is a natural, plant-derived compound extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. Often referred to as a “natural retinol alternative,” it delivers similar skin-renewing benefits, like reducing fine lines and improving texture without the irritation or sensitivity commonly associated with retinoids.

Why We Use It

We use bakuchiol to support visible skin renewal, smooth fine lines, and promote an even skin tone—all while being gentle enough for daily use. Unlike retinol, it doesn’t increase sun sensitivity or disrupt the skin barrier, making it ideal for sensitive skin and daytime routines.

Origin & How It’s Made

Bakuchiol is sourced from Psoralea corylifolia seeds, traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. The seeds are cold-extracted using food-grade solvents, then purified into a concentrated, standardized oil-soluble form suitable for cosmetic use.
