Natural Retinol Alternative + Regenerating
Bakuchiol is one of the hottest new ingredients. It is a natural alternative to retinol. Safe for vegans and those with sensitive skin. Regenerate your skin tone naturally.
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active from Psoralea corylifolia seeds, used at 3 to 15% for the look of smoother, firmer skin. It is the ingredient people reach for when retinol does not suit them.
This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished serum. Do not apply it undiluted.
INCI: Vegetable Glycerin, Water, Bakuchiol Extract, Silver Dihydrogen Citrate
Four ingredients. Silver dihydrogen citrate is the preservative.
The carrier is glycerin and water, so this version blends into water-based formulas. 0.5 fl oz blue glass dropper bottle. Vegan, paraben-free, fragrance-free, cruelty-free.
Bakuchiol comes from the babchi plant, used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese practice. It is often called a bio-retinol because published comparisons put it in the same conversation as retinol for the look of fine lines and texture — while being better tolerated by people who find retinoids drying or irritating.
It is not chemically related to retinol. It is a different molecule that people use for similar reasons.
If retinol has never bothered your skin, retinol is cheaper. If it has, this is why bakuchiol exists.

Hi there, I have heard, but not sure if indeed a fact, that this ingredient can cause discoloration. Please could you clarify? Thank you kindly
It's quite the opposite. Bakuchiol helps fade discolorations. It's a safe and effective product that produces similar results to retinol, but can be used by those who have sensitive skin.
Can I apply this Bakuchiol over the copper peptide.
Yes, you can use Bakuchiol aand Copper Peptide together in your skincare routine.
can I just use this for under eyes or should buy uplift eye cream? Can this serum be added to the your 11 peptide wrinkle serum? I am starting to show lines on forehead and want to focus on that, tightening and glow on my face. Very confused as to what to use.
