If you’ve never heard of Bakuchiol, you aren’t the only one! It’s been used in Chinese medicine for centuries, but only recently is making its way into skincare products around the world. 

Bakuchiol (pronounced ba-koo-chee-ol) is a compound derived from the leaves or seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) plant, native to India and Sri Lanka. When used in skin care, it is most commonly purified into an oil or added to a serum. 

Well, we will let you decide that for yourself! Here at Sweet Skin Co, we take pride in selecting the most effective yet gentle natural ingredients, and after learning about Bakuchiol oil, we just knew we had to make it a part of our natural skincare line. In fact, we believe in its beneficial properties so much that it comes as a standalone product so you can use the purest form of it possible!

Bakuchiol oil is used as an alternative to retinol and is quickly developing a reputation. In recent studies, it has proven to be as effective as retinol, but without the not-so-nice side effects that retinol can have, such as skin flakiness, redness and sensitivity.

“The results showed that, after 12 weeks treatment, significant improvement in lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall reduction in photo-damage was observed, without usual retinol therapy-associated undesirable effects.”

We love that it’s ethically sourced and cold pressed, so no nasties are produced in the extraction process.

Bakuchiol is a powerful antioxidant, and when used consistently over a period of time, will protect your skin from pollution damage, as well as start to repair some of the damage that has already been done. 

Its lightweight texture means that it can penetrate deep into skin layers to stimulate collagen production and lighten hyperpigmentation.

When all the individual benefits are considered, it adds up to Bakuchiol effectively reversing the ageing of your skin.

The benefits just get better the longer you use it!

The antibacterial properties of Bakuchiol protect your skin from acne-causing bacteria all day long!

It's like a magic potion which reveals radiant skin and helps reverse the signs of ageing.

The free radical damage we were talking about above? It can show up in lots of ways, but they all boil down to inflamed, irritated skin. Bakuchiol will help reduce this inflammation and give your skin the relief it deserves!

Bakuchiol oil is gentle enough for every skin type, with no known side effects being reported. To see the best results, we recommend using it twice a day, waiting at least 10 minutes after application before applying makeup in the morning. Optimal results are usually visible after 12 weeks.

We think our Bakuchiol is an incredible addition to any skincare routine and is especially helpful if you have sensitive skin. Try it for yourself and see how it transforms your skin!
