Bakuchiol, a meroterpene, is a phenolic compound with a monoterpene side chain. It belongs to a rare group of terpenoids in which the aromatic ring system is derived from a phenylpropane unit.

It has no structural resemblance to retinoids, but has similar functionalities.

Bakuchiol helps control inflammation by inhibiting/down regulating pro-inflammatory genes and enzymes, to prevent collagen and elastin degradation; and the breakdown of skin’s barrier function.

Without this control, inflammation of the skin ultimately leads to a cascade of reactions that may erode the skin’s structure and cause deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and non-elastic tissues.

Bakuchiol has also been shown to be effective against multiple pathophysiologic features of acne.

It helps –

• Correct the altered pattern of follicular keratinization
• Decrease sebaceous gland activity
• Decrease the follicular bacterial population, especially P. acnes

We use 99.5% pure Bakuchiol, obtained from the edible seeds of Psoralea Corylifolia to directly act on –
