Bakuchiol Extract / Fruit Extract

Bakuchiol (INCI: Bakuchiol / Psoralea Corylifolia Fruit Extract), a meroterpene phenol derived from the seeds and fruits of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, is widely celebrated as the "natural retinol alternative." It functions through similar cellular pathways to retinoids—stimulating collagen types I, III, and IV—without the associated irritation or photosensitivity. Ideal for sensitive skin anti-aging serums, overnight repair creams, and clean-beauty formulations. High-purity raw material (up to 99%). Direct factory supply. Get a quote today!

Product Uses

In the B2B cosmetic sector, Bakuchiol has become a transformative ingredient for anti-aging and acne-prone skin markets. Unlike Retinol, Bakuchiol is photostable, allowing for both day and night application. It offers significant clinical benefits in reducing fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and targeting hyperpigmentation. Furthermore, its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it highly effective in balancing sebum production and reducing blemish-related redness. Its status as a botanical, vegan-friendly active makes it the premier choice for brands seeking "Retinol-like" efficacy within the Clean Beauty and Pregnancy-Safe skincare categories.

Formula Suggestions

The recommended usage level is 0.5% – 1.0% for targeted anti-aging efficacy. As a lipophilic active, it should be added to the oil phase of an emulsion or used directly in anhydrous oil serums. Bakuchiol is thermally stable and can be added during the oil phase heating or in the cool-down phase (below 50°C) to maintain peak bioactivity. It remains stable across a wide pH range, typically optimized at 4.0 – 6.5. Synergy Example: Combine with Squalane for enhanced dermal penetration and hydration, or pair with Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) to create a powerful antioxidant duo for advanced skin brightening and collagen protection.
