Type: Ingredient

Definition: This is the bio-retinoid that has been booming in recent years. Bakuchiol is a natural substance extracted from babchi seeds and is the only plant-based ā€˜alternative’ to retinol that has shown similar clinically-proven results. Unlike classic retinol formulations, bakuchiol is not irritating and can be used safely during pregnancy!

Hint

Don’t forget that like all upcoming and ā€˜new’ ingredients in the beauty market, these ingredients often need time to prove their efficiency and reliability. Retinol has over 40 years of clinical trials behind it - ten times that of bakuchiol! So don’t start hating on our beloved retinol...this is just another option. Chemically, it has nothing to do with the vitamin-A family, aka retinoids, comparative gene expression profiling.
