bakuchiol

Enter Bakuchiol – a validated, potent, and all-natural contender that stands as an undeniable alternative to Retinol within the realm of skincare. While Retinol, a synthetic vitamin A derivative, is renowned for its versatility in addressing various skin concerns, from aging signs to the vanishing of dark blemishes, it bears the weight of unpleasant side effects including irritation, stinging, dryness, and heightened sun sensitivity. In contrast, Bakuchiol emerges as an organic botanical derivative, showcased by research to engage with the skin at concentrations between 0.5-2%, yielding results surpassing those of Retinol, devoid of the aforementioned drawbacks.

Nurturing a repertoire of benefits geared towards anti-aging, Bakuchiol operates as a gentle arbiter across the skin’s strata, diminishing fine lines, forestalling wrinkles, and fading prevailing age spots and sun-induced pigmentation. Moreover, its reach extends to cellular depths, kindling vibrancy within lackluster complexions. An adept antioxidant, Bakuchiol quells inflammation, augmenting its appeal as a holistic solution.

Diverging from Retinol’s limitations, Bakuchiol claims photo-stability, rendering it a safe companion for daylight hours without apprehensions of instability or toxicity when exposed to the sun.

This marvel finds its origin in the Psoralea Corylifolia plant’s leaves and seeds, affectionately known as Babchi. Thriving in the wilds of Southwest China, particularly within the Yun Nan Province, as well as select Indian territories, this cherished leguminous species has deep-rooted ties to traditional Chinese medicine, serving as a remedy for skin disorders and kidney ailments over centuries.

South African cosmetic artisans can now embrace Bakuchiol’s potential, available through McLellan Labs. However, it’s imperative to differentiate between Bakuchiol and Babchi or Bakuchi oil. The former is a meticulously extracted active chemical constituent from Psoralea Corylifolia seed husks, while the latter denotes the plant’s seed oil. Our transformative Bakuchiol boasts a remarkable concentration, reaching purity levels of 98% to 99%. This achievement is owed to an intricate extraction process propelled by state-of-the-art laboratory technology, specifically the Intelligent Preparative Countercurrent Chromatography (TSSM10) equipment.
