Bakuchiol: The New Anti-Aging Star in Cosmetics

2025-11-26

Bakuchiol is a natural active ingredient extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, belonging to the isoprenyl phenol terpenoid compounds. It accounts for more than 60% of the volatile oil of Psoralea corylifolia, and is a pale yellow oily liquid at room temperature with strong fat solubility. This ingredient first caught the attention of researchers because it has a similar molecular structure and efficacy to traditional retinol (vitamin A alcohol), thus being called "plant retinol" The chemical structure of Bakuchiol gives it unique biological activity, retaining the anti-aging effects of traditional retinol while avoiding its strong irritation. In recent years, with the growing demand of consumers for natural and mild ingredients, Bakuchiol has become a prominent new star ingredient in the cosmetics field.
