FAQs on Bakuchiol

Where does bakuchiol come from?

Bakuchiol was first isolated in 1966 from the babchi seed obtained from the plant Psoralea corylifolia, a plant used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Psoralea coryifolia is found in South Asian countries including Pakistan and India.

Bakuchiol vs Retinol and Does bakuchiol show the same results as retinol?

Yes. although bakuchiol does not resemble retinoids from a structural level, there is marked similarity between the ingredients in terms of their effects on anti-aging genes and proteins. a study in 2019 evaluated the effects of bakuchiol versus retinol in a double-blinded, prospective study. both ingredients significantly reduced fine wrinkles by the 12-week time point, without differences between the two ingredients. pigmentation was also assessed and at 12 weeks, 59% of the bakuchiol group noted improvement in their hyperpigmentation, while 44% of the retinol group had improvements.
