Bakuchiol Oil Cold Pressed

Description

Bakuchiol Oil Cold Pressed

the remarkable plant derived retinol (vitamin A) alternative.

Bakuchiol oil is extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant and parts of the plant are widely used in Indian and Chinese medicine to treat a variety of disorders.

Topical application of the oil shows that it possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory  and anti-bacterial properties. But it’s main benefit is that the oil has been demonstrated to confer retinol like benefits to the skin – especially for mature skin.

In 2018, a randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical study with 44 volunteers demonstrated that Bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photo-aging (wrinkles, hyperpigmentation) but has a better skin tolerance (source)

Summary of Benefits:

The oil can be applied directly to the skin or formulated into creams and lotions. If used in hot process formulations it is recommended to add the oil at cool down.
