You would probably be referring to the Latin names of the ingredients such as Sodium PCA, Arachidyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate.  But we can assure you that these are derived from plants and are all safe to use.

Don’t refrigerate products, but do keep it in a cooler location, not too hot, and then protect it from light by keeping it inside the box in another box, because UV light will degrade some of the ingredients. I keep all products like this in a cooler cupboard and then simply don’t leave them out and they continue to work very well as I use them, without a significant loss in quality.

Bakuchiol: The Ingredient

A small molecule extracted from the seed of Psoralea corylifolia that is a more tolerable alternative to Retinol.

Both Bakuchiol and Retinol significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation, however Retinol users report facial skin scaling, burning and stinging.

It stimulates key anti-aging genes such as, retinoid binding & metabolizing genes,  Extracellular matrix genes, dermo-epidermal junction genes. Bakuchiol, in addition, limits direct oxidative damage to the cells, proteins, and DNA. Lastly, it controls inflammation.

Yes, Bakuchiol is vegan. It is obtained through vegetable source does not contain any animal based raw material.

Bakuchiol is not retinol, nor a retinoid compound. The chemically structure is different. However, it is considered as a retinol-alternative as it functions as a retinol without the drawbacks. Bakuchiol can be used during the day and is better tolerated by the skin.

Bakuchiol helps to reduce inflammation, control overpopulation of bacteria, maintain the integrity of the sebum and reduces hyperkeratinization. Clinical studies have shown Bakuchiol is more efficient than salicylic acid to reduce acne.

No.  You can apply and use Bakuchiol while having full sun exposure.

A product formulated with 1% Clinical Strength Bakuchiol can be used twice a day on the face

No, Bakuchiol is oil-soluble, so it is not possible to find it in water-based serum (monophasic, no emulsifiers) with the recommended use level of Bakuchiol (0.5 to 1.0 %)

You can find Bakuchiol in emulsions, but only oil-based serum can provide a totally transparent solution.

According to the CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), Psoralea Corylifolia is not on the list of endangered species.

It’s a plant endemic to many regions in India and overly abundant in the wild.

In a 2019 safety assessment taking into account all toxicological data available, a finished product containing 1% Bakuchiol with over 99% purity has been considered safe for topical application on the face.

Bakuchiol Face Serum

It is an oil serum. There are two kinds of serums. Water based and oil based. Bakuchiol Botanicals at the moment offers an oil based serum.

Based on the study clinical strength is 0.5 to 1%. We are using 1% which is upper range. 1% is really the upper limit. Otherwise those sensitive skin or skin conditions might have redness or irritation. And there is a HUGE difference between raw Bakuchiol and Clinical Strength. Most products that feature Bakuchiol are not using Clinical Strength or they are frankly…not being truthful. There is one specific company who say they have 5%. That is not only not acceptable (not truthful) but would be dangerous.

Apply morning and night after completely cleansing your face. Your face should be free of any makeup and products. We will have a full line of products shortly available on Amazon that will complete your daily routine. We recommend to start your day with our Bakuchiol Cleanser & Toner, and then apply few drops of the Bakuchiol Face Serum. Allow the serum to settle in your skin. Then follow with Bakuchiol Eye and Facial Cream. You may apply your makeup after the completion of the this routine. Once you are back from your day, before resting for the night, repeat the above routine before bedtime. You will love the benefits that this routine will bring to your daily life and skin

Yes, it will actually balance your skin’s natural oil. Cleanse your face well with your favorite cleanser and then apply it. Use only 1-2 drop(s) for the first few days and then you can increase it.

Our Squalane is colorless and it is the majority of the product, so it fades the color of Rosehip Oil.

The Face Serum glass bottle is not UV protected, however vitamin C, vitamin E and squalane protect our Bakuchiol and Rosehip oil from oxidation caused by oxygen and UV. We still recommend keeping the bottle away from direct sunlight to preserve it’s freshness.

Sustainable, renewably-sourced and ECOCERT-approved, sugar cane-derived squalane.

Our Bakuchiol is naturally extracted from Babchi plant so there are some color variations batch to batch. Our formula is a clinical strength of 1% Bakuchiol but the base of the formula is Squalane which is clear. Therefore, the whole product looks more clear due to the presence of Squalane as the majority of the formulation. Some products claim to have up to 5%, which is actually harmful. One of our competitors claims 5% and has a purple hue. 5%, especially if was Clinical Strength, which doubtful, is actually dangerous to your skin

Vitamin C products are denatured in the refrigerator. Don’t refrigerate this product, but do keep it in a cooler location, not too hot, and then protect it from light by keeping it inside the box in another box, because UV light will degrade some of the ingredients.

Yes it does. It is one of many great benefits of rosehip oil.

This oil alone does not replace a Moisturizer. We recommend to use this oil as a part of a daily routine.  Apply few drops of our oil on your face and once it has settled in and absorbed, follow with our Bakuchiol Botanicals Moisturizer.

Bakuchiol Eye Cream

Wash your hands before applying.  Dispense 1 or 2 drops of the cream onto your fingers. Gently dab around eye area.

Bakuchiol Cleanser & Toner All-in-One

Yes.  Our Cleanser & Toner All-in-One was designed with this in mind.  A Cleanser and Toner must complement each other. An optimum cleanser helps by removing all excessive facial oil and dead skins hence revealing a younger and evenly toned skin. A right cleanser also provides the right environment by nourishing the younger skin simultaneously.

Actually no. 100% of the ingredients in our Bakuchiol Botanicals products are plant based.  However, we managed to make a cleanser that achieves the same result out of  plant based ingredients.

It is very hard to make any products that foam out of plants. Most use what is called a surfactant. However, large number of surfactant containing wastewater are discharged into the environment, resulting in harming aquatic life, polluting the water and endangering human health.
