What is Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is a natural ingredient revitalising and revolutionising the skin care industry. To help you achieve natural, healthy and radiant skin Bakuchiol is one of the best extracts to use, and it can be found in many products!
Where does Bakuchiol come from?
Bakuchiol is a compound that is found and extracted from the Psoralea Corylifolia plant, unsurprisingly it has been used in traditional medicines for centuries, but only now has it started to gain notice and popularity in the widespread global use. The growth of natural organic cosmetics and skin care has led to the exploration of new ingredients and extracts to use, thus finding Bakuchiol, referred to as “natural retinol” due to the retinol-like effects it carries, but without the negative side-effects such as irritation.
What is Bakuchiol used for?
Due to its natural origins, it has multiple benefits without the side-effects, some of the major benefits are the ability to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. What is collagen? Collagen is one of the most essential proteins that are produced by the body that help strengthen and increase the firmness for our skin, resulting in a more youthful and healthier look. Unfortunately, the production of collagen naturally reduces over time with ageing, leading to wrinkles. This makes Bakuchiol even more important as it can improve skin firmness and elasticity, reducing the effects of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Not only does it decrease signs of ageing, but Bakuchiol is also an antioxidant, meaning that it helps fight radicals that can damage our skin. This essentially means that it protects the skin from environmental factors such as toxic chemicals and substances. Bakuchiol also has anti-inflammatory properties, soothing and relieving sensitive irritated skin.
Is There a Difference Between Bakuchiol and Retinol? Which is Better?
Bakuchiol and Retinol are often compared, as they do have similar benefits. There are important differences which you should consider of before making any skincare product decisions.
Retinol is mainly obtained from Vitamin A, it is recognised for its ability to improve skin health and rejuvenation, leading to fewer wrinkles. What many people don’t know Is that it can be irritable for those with sensitive skin, leading to various side effects such as redness of skin, dryness and irritation. On the other hand, Bakuchiol is a natural substance, thus providing the benefits of retinol, without the unwanted harmful side effects. This makes Bakuchiol perfect for those with sensitive skin and those who are more conscious about what skincare products they use.
