Bakuchiol 98%

1. Bakuchiol 98% is derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, 100% natural plant-derived, and extracted with ethanol. Clinically verified to have much less irritation and offer superior skin tolerance compared to retinol, is suitable for sensitive skin, and presents no dryness or flaking concerns throughout use, representing a natural and gentle skincare option.

2.It possesses excellent photostability, remaining unaffected by light exposure, allowing safe use in daytime skincare routines without requiring additional light-avoidance steps. This means more flexible application scenarios that meet daily protection needs.

3.It exhibits outstanding synergy: when combined with 2% salicylic acid, 1% Bakuchiol reduces acne by 67% in 6 weeks, showing significantly enhanced efficacy compared to single-agent use. It is worth noting that the anti-acne effect of 1% Bakuchiol is even better than that of 2% salicylic acid.It can also be compounded with peptides, hyaluronic acid, etc., to enhance comprehensive anti-aging and moisturizing effects, indicating great compounding potential.

4.It serves as a gentle alternative to retinol—by promoting the synthesis of Type I, II, and IV collagen to enhance firmness, inhibiting tyrosinase to lighten spots and reduce fine lines—with gradual effects and a comfortable skin feel. It avoids the irritation associated with traditional retinol, meaning sensitive skin can also benefit from anti-aging effects.

Bakuchiol 98% achieves antioxidant effects by scavenging DPPH radicals, with an ORAC value of 15,165 μmole Trolox equivalent/g—far exceeding natural tocopherol’s 813—indicating its extremely strong free radical scavenging capability, which effectively resists environmental oxidative damage and preserves the skin’s youthful state.

It inhibits elastase activity to achieve firming and anti-wrinkle effects while simultaneously promoting the synthesis of Type I, II, and IV collagen to reduce fine lines. Increased collagen enhances the skin’s supportive network, restoring elasticity to slackened areas and visually diminishing wrinkles.

It stimulates FN protein expression to elevate levels of Type I and VII collagen for anti-aging. Type I collagen reinforces the dermal framework, and Type VII collagen stabilizes the basement membrane; this dual action delays skin structural aging and maintains fullness.

It inhibits hyaluronidase activity to reduce hyaluronic acid degradation. Combined with its non-drying and non-flaking property, skin water loss slows down and moisturizing capacity increases, strengthening the hydrating barrier while soothing discomfort.

It improves post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity to block melanin production. Clinically verified to lighten acne marks and pigmentation, even out skin tone, and repair imperfections, it restores the skin to an even, clear, and radiant state.
