What is bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol is a natural skincare ingredient extracted from the babchi plant, native to the Indian subcontinent.

The babchi plant has been referenced in ancient Ayurvedic texts as “Bakuchi” and was used to treat skin disorders and ailments, thanks to its potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

In traditional Chinese medicine , it was similarly used to address skin problems and even liver ailments, valued for its blood-stimulating and detoxifying properties.

Bakuchiol vs Retinol

Bakuchiol’s rise in the modern skincare world started around the early 2000s when researchers identified its unique properties, which mimic retinol activity without similar side effects. Interest in bakuchiol surged as a natural and plant-based alternative to retinol, especially appealing to consumers looking for gentler, sustainable options for anti-aging and acne treatments.

However, unlike retinol, which is synthetic and can cause irritation, redness, and dryness, bakuchiol is gentle and doesn't lead to such side effects. This makes it an excellent option for those with sensitive skin or anyone looking for a vegan alternative to retinol.

Retinol, as a synthetic form of Vitamin A, is famous for its ability to boost collagen production and reduce discoloration, but it can also make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, offers similar skin benefits without causing sun sensitivity or irritation.

APPLICATION	Requires gradual introduction into the skincare routine to build tolerance.	Can be used more freely without concerns about irritation or sun exposure.
SUITABILITY	Not ideal for sensitive skin or vegan consumers due to some forms being animal-derived.	A vegan-friendly option that’s safe for sensitive skin, with similar benefits to retinol but fewer side effects.

Bakuchiol as Retinol Substitute

While retinol requires users to build up a tolerance, bakuchiol can be used more freely without worry. Because of its gentle nature and proven anti-aging properties, bakuchiol is often referred to as nature’s answer to retinol. It provides a natural, effective solution for those seeking anti-aging benefits without compromising skin health.

Here are 6 key benefits of Bakuchiol for skin:

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Bakuchiol stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance without the irritation commonly associated with retinol.

Improves Skin Texture: With its ability to encourage cell turnover, bakuchiol helps refine skin texture, making the skin look smoother and more even-toned.

Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is non-irritating and can be used by people with sensitive skin or those prone to redness, dryness, or peeling.

Fights Blemishes: Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make bakuchiol effective in treating acne, reducing breakouts, and calming inflamed skin.

Brightens Complexion: Bakuchiol helps reduce dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, leading to a more radiant, even-toned complexion.

Non-degradable to sun: Unlike retinol which is sun sensitive, bakuchiol is scienifically proved not to be degrading when exposed to sun. This makes it a perfect retinol substitite to use all year round
