Bakuchiol Extract Oil | Natural Retinol Alternative

Bakuchiol Extract Oil is nature’s answer to retinol — a powerful, plant-derived active known for its ability to refine texture, smooth fine lines, and boost skin radiance without irritation or sensitivity. Extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, this oil-soluble active combines modern extraction technology with ancient botanical wisdom.

Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is photostable and gentle on the skin, making it suitable for use both day and night. It’s ideal for formulators seeking a clean, vegan alternative to synthetic retinoids that performs beautifully in oil-based serums, creams, and balms.
