Bakuchiol is a plant-derived compound that has gained popularity in the skincare industry as a natural alternative to retinol. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is known for its anti-aging properties, but it can also cause irritation and sensitivity in some individuals. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, is derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, also known as babchi, and is considered a gentler option. Like retinol, bakuchiol has anti-aging properties, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity, and promoting collagen production. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol does not cause photosensitivity, meaning it can be used during the day without increasing the risk of sun damage. This makes it a suitable option for daytime skincare routines.
By ensapsulation of Bkuchiol with nano liposomes the Bakuchiol LipoVes are formed. Bakuchiol LipoVes with an approximate particle size of less than 20nm are penetrating deep into the skin and more effectively.
