"Bakuchiol (pronounced “buh-koo-chee-all”) has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to treat various skin conditions. Hailed as the “natural retinol”, plant-based bakuchiol has been found in clinical studies to offer similar rejuvenating effects – helping boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production and without the skin irritation that is sometimes associated with retinol.
Bakuchiol derives from the seeds and leaves of the Indian Babchi plant (its official name is the Psoralea Corylifolia). It’s been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for centuries and has been found to provide anti-oxidant skin protection from daily environmental and lifestyle stress. As a plant-based alternative to retinol, a well-known anti-ageing ingredient, this botanical power ingredient is revolutionising natural skin care."
