EkoFace 100% Natural Babchi (Bakuchi, Bakuchiol) Oil. (30ml)

Product Information

Often then you start fiddling with plants, the extracts you create cause skin sensitisation, think of the allergens listing on products. Limonene for instance, is sensitising/irritating on its own, even in minute doses, but when found inside a plant, there are natural ‘quenchers’ that ensure it does not irritate your skin. In addition to this, the seed extracts help manage spermatorrhoea and premature ejaculation in men. 4 When paired with retinol, bakuchiol can help stabilise it and keep it effective for longer. Another benefit of using products that contain both bakuchiol and retinol is that bakuchiol’s calming ability may enable skin to tolerate retinol in higher amounts. How to use bakuchiol?

Even though the first complete synthesis of Bakuchiol was described in 1973, [17] its first commercial use in topical applications did not occur until 2007 when it was introduced to the market under the trade name Sytenol A by Sytheon Ltd. [18] I have sensitive Asperger’s skin, and plant- based extracts that reduce fine lines and wrinkles are my area of special interest.Kumar Uikey S, Yadav AS, Sharma AK, Rai AK, Raghuwanshi DK, Badkhane Y, et al. The Botany, Chemistry, Pharmacological and Therapeutic Application of Psoralea corylifolia L.-A Review. International Journal of Phytomedicine [Internet]. 2010 [cited 2022 Feb 14];2:100–7. Available from: http://www.arjournals.org/ijop.html The leaves can be used to make medicines to manage diarrhoea, and fruits are good to deal with piles and nausea. 4 Retinol is often produced from animal sources – liver, fish and egg yolks, while plant-based babchi is totally vegan. The best bakuchiol product we’ve found on the market is the Isdin Isdinceutics Melatonik Serum. It contains a potent concentration of the ingredient, as well as melatonin and vitamin C, to protect the skin and target signs of aging for a youthful complexion. We also love the more affordable Acure Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum, which is formulated with multiple natural antioxidants for skin that looks firmer and glowier. It does have a certain scent and colour to it, which need to be factored into your formulation. If you’re a trained aromatherapist you’ll have some ideas on how to do this. If not, there is the school of experience. Keep a notebook, and a sense of humour as you experiment. Bakuchiol vs Retinol How does Retinol work?

If babchi seeds are cold-pressed or expeller-pressed, you have Psoralea corylifolia seed oil. If the seeds or leaves are macerated in oil or extracted with a solvent (i.e. ethanol, acetone), you have Psoralea corylifolia seed/leaf extract. Again, these might be referred to as babchi oil or bakuchi oil - but they represent an unrefined carrier oil and not the pure chemical form of Bakuchiol that is sought after.

How to add bakuchiol to your skincare routine

I get so many questions from people who want to ask about their skin troubles, ingredients to use and what to avoid, the dose and percentage etc of oils.
