Function & Applications

Bakuchiol is a plant-derived cosmetic active used as a **natural alternative to retinol** in skincare formulations. Unlike retinol, it is gentle on sensitive skin and well-tolerated in daily use. Bakuchiol delivers anti-aging, brightening, and skin-smoothing benefits while minimizing the risk of irritation:

• Anti-aging: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Firming: Supports collagen integrity and skin elasticity
• Brightening: Improves tone and promotes radiant skin
• Non-irritating: Suitable for sensitive, dry, and acne-prone skin

Applications: night creams, anti-aging serums, sensitive skincare, brightening treatments, and clean beauty formulations. Ideal for industrial applications targeting retinol-alternative actives.
