BAKUCHIOL
Also known as: Sytenol A
CAS Number: 10309-37-2
Key Benefits
Plant-based retinol alternative — anti-aging without irritation
How It Works
Meroterpene from Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) seeds. Activates PPAR-gamma pathway — retinol-like activity without binding retinoid receptors. Upregulates collagen I, III, and IV genes. Inhibits MMP-1 and NF-kB for anti-inflammatory effect. Does not cause retinoid dermatitis.
Why BP Derma Uses It
Bakuchiol allows us to deliver retinol-equivalent anti-aging results without any of retinol's drawbacks — no peeling, no photosensitivity, suitable for sensitive and pregnant skin. In our 0.3% Retinol formula, it works synergistically with retinol for amplified collagen stimulation.
