Bakuchiol is known in the cosmetic world as a plant-based substitute for retinol, which is why its popularity is increasingly growing, not only among vegan cosmetics lovers. It has proven to be extremely effective in so-called anti-age treatments, as it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which contributes to the reduced visibility of wrinkles and skin smoothing. In addition, bakuchiol, just like retinol, affects the alleviation of acne, as it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It also acts on the alleviation of hyperpigmentation spots.
Given that it is obtained naturally, from the leaves and seeds of the Asian plant babchi, this ingredient does not cause irritation, stinging, and redness, so it is suitable for people who have sensitive skin. Also, this ingredient is not photosensitive, so it can be used for both day and night care.
