Explore the addition of Bakuchiol in K-beauty products, offering natural alternatives for skincare enthusiasts. Discover how this plant-based ingredient is revolutionizing skincare routines with its retinol-like benefits.
While most of us are familiar with retinol and its wonderful anti-aging effects, bakuchiol is not as common. Retinol for all its effectiveness can cause irritation and cause skin sensitivity. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, is a plant derivative with similar effects but no skin irritation. It makes Bakuchiol important for K-beauty skincare companies as they are incorporating it into their products.
Bakuchiol as a K-Beauty Ingredient in Skincare Products
Bakuchiol, a plant-based ingredient derived from the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia, or Babchi plant. It exhibits properties similar to retinol. Research suggests it effectively addresses concerns such as hyperpigmentation and acne, diminishes the appearance of wrinkles, and shields the skin from free radicals.
Skincare Benefits of Bakuchiol
- Reduces hyperpigmentation by controlling melanin production.
- Reduces and treats acne because of its antibacterial properties.
- Improves wrinkle appearance by speeding up cell turnover ratio and boosting collagen production.
- Non irritant as it is a plant-based ingredient, meaning it is gentler on the skin.
- Can be used in day time products as it is photo stable, unlike retinol.
Because of all its positives over retinol, many are favoring Bakuchiol based K-beauty products over retinol products.
