What is bakuchiol and how does it work against wrinkles?
Bakuchiol is a plant-based active ingredient extracted from the seeds of the babchi plant and is considered a plant-based alternative to retinol (vitamin A). Like retinol, it is a powerful antioxidant and protects the skin from free radicals, i.e., cell damage. Like retinol, it also smooths the skin structure by stimulating collagen production.
However, it is better tolerated, has an additional skin-soothing effect and does not affect the skin's sensitivity to light, making it an interesting active ingredient for sensitive skin. Ideally, both substances form a symbiosis and unfold their full effect.
What effect does bakuchiol have in a face cream?
In a face cream , bakuchiol works gently but effectively: it improves the skin's texture, has an antioxidant effect, and evens out unevenness. At the same time, it soothes sensitive skin, reduces redness, and strengthens its natural protective function.
