Bakuchi oil – nature's own retinol

Bakuchi oil, extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant , has recently gained a lot of attention in both skin and hair care. It has often been called "nature's own retinol" due to its similar effects on the skin, but without the potential side effects that can occur with synthetic retinol.

Why is bakuchi oil so good for hair and skin?

  • Antioxidants: Bakuchiol is rich in antioxidants that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. This helps to counteract aging and promotes healthy skin and scalp.
  • Stimulates collagen production: Like retinol, bakuchiol stimulates the production of collagen, giving skin and hair increased elasticity and strength.
  • Reduces inflammation: Bakuchiol has anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe irritated skin and scalp.
  • Fights acne: The oil can help regulate sebum production and reduce the occurrence of acne.
  • Protects against sun damage: Bakuchiol has been shown to have sun-protective properties and can help protect the skin from UV radiation.
  • Improves hair quality: Bakuchiol can help strengthen hair follicles and improve the overall quality of hair.

  • Skin care: Bakuchi oil can be used as a facial oil, in serums or in creams. It is suitable for all skin types, but is especially good for mature and acne-prone skin.
  • Hair Care: Bakuchi oil can be added to hair masks, conditioners, or used as a scalp oil. It can help strengthen hair, reduce hair loss, and improve scalp health.

Benefits of bakuchi oil:

  • Natural: Bakuchiol is a natural ingredient with few side effects.
