Natural Origin Positioning
Derived from Psoralea corylifolia seeds. Natural Origin Index = 1 and Non-GMO positioning.
Processing Method
Supercritical CO₂ extraction delivers a green, solvent-free process with no residue, preserving active compounds at low temperatures while ensuring high selectivity, purity, and industrial scalability.
Compatibility Notes
Avoid strong acidic conditions and direct contact with high-concentration metal ions. A suitable chelating agent can improve formula stability.
Performance
Performance Highlights for Sample Screening
Review AC-Bakuchiol positioning for anti-aging, antioxidant, tone-evening and blemish-care cosmetic formulations.
Gentler Vitamin A Alternative
AC-Bakuchiol positions as a milder retinol-alternative pathway with lower irritation concern and better tolerance.
Superior Photostability
Low psoralen and isopsoralen residue supports better light stability and lower photosensitivity concern in daytime skincare positioning.
Ultra-Low Residual Impurities
Supercritical CO₂ extraction ensures ethanol residues below 50 ppm. AC-Bakuchiol also contains extremely low levels of psoralen and isopsoralen, supporting high purity and safety.
Application
Application and Processing Guide
Use these practical guidelines to dissolve, add and screen AC-Bakuchiol in skincare formulations.
- Recommended dosageUse 0.5%-1% for skincare formulas; final level should be confirmed by formula type, claims and market compliance review.
- Phase additionAdd to the oil phase, polyol or emulsifier phase before final incorporation.
- Dissolution temperatureHeat while stirring until fully dissolved. It is recommended to add at room temperature.
- Stability checksManage light, heat and oxygen exposure, avoid strong acidic conditions and screen metal ion contact during formula testing.

FAQ
AC-Bakuchiol FAQ
Answers to common buyer questions about dosage, dissolution, retinol-alternative positioning, compatibility and order documents.
What is the recommended dosage of AC-Bakuchiol?
Recommended dosage is 0.5%-1%. Final dosage should be confirmed by the formula format, target market, sensory profile and claim review.
How should Bakuchiol be dissolved and added?
Add AC-Bakuchiol directly to the oil phase, polyol or emulsifier phase, then heat while stirring until fully dissolved. It is recommended to add at room temperature.
What makes AC-Bakuchiol different from retinol-type ingredients?
We position Bakuchiol as gentler, more photostable and more formulation-compatible than Vitamin A derivatives, with natural origin and supercritical CO₂ extraction.
What performance directions does AC-Bakuchiol support?
AC-Bakuchiol supports anti-aging, antioxidant, tone-evening, oil-control and blemish-care cosmetic positioning, including collagen-related and tyrosinase / melanin pathway considerations.
What compatibility points should formulators watch?
Avoid strong acidic conditions and direct high-concentration metal ion contact. A suitable chelating agent can improve stability. Light, heat and oxygen management can help reduce color deepening and odor changes.
What documents can be requested for bulk Bakuchiol orders?
ANECO can provide TDS, SDS, COA sample, specification and formulation support for AC-Bakuchiol sample evaluation, regulatory review and procurement discussion.
