Bakuchiol

Today we present you a novelty, an active substance that we have not yet offered you in any product - Bakuchiol.

Bakuchiol is the rising star that is starting to turn the proverbial colossus of the cosmetics industry.

So let's talk a little more about bakuchiol Bakuchiol is a plant component found in the leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. The effects of this annual with pale purple flowers have been used for centuries in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine, and in the last century the cosmetics industry noticed them - and bakuchiol appeared in the list of effective natural substances.

Why are we so interested?

• Bakuchiol stimulates the renewal of skin cells. Their increased regenerative capacity maintains the skin's youthful appearance.
• It soothes fine lines and wrinkles, improves the overall texture of the skin and improves its tone.
• With its antioxidant effects, it participates in the protection of the skin against its free radicals.
• It protects the skin from the formation of wrinkles and its overall loss of firmness.
• It is also known for its soothing effects, so it minimizes problems associated with skin sensitivity and reactivity.
• It is also interesting to use it in acne care products.

In this day and age, when many older women have to deal with acne and overall skin sensitivity in addition to the increasingly well-known signs of aging, it's important to get the balance right.

Bakuchiol versus retinol
The link between bakuchiol and retinol is also interesting.

Bakuchiol is often considered a natural alternative to retinol, helping to stabilize it and maintain its effectiveness longer. Although both substances have different origins, their effects are very similar. But while retinol on the one hand successfully stimulates the formation of collagen and elastin, soothes and improves the texture of the skin and slows down the aging process, on the other hand it can irritate very sensitive skin. The skin then remains reddened, irritated, dry, unclean. It can also be its incorrect or long-term use. Its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is also not recommended. Is your skin rejecting retinol? Do not despair, because in that case, reach for Bakuchiol.

Bakuchiol for delicate skin
Bakuchiol, like any active substance of plant origin, is better tolerated by delicate and sensitive skin types, moreover, it calms it down with its soothing effects.

It is of course excellent for all skin types.

It can be combined not only with retinol, but also with vitamin C. It can be used during pregnancy and during breastfeeding.

And here are 5 reasons to trust him:
1. Soothes sensitive and delicate skin.
2. Similar to retinol, it stimulates cell renewal, visibly reduces deep wrinkles and prevents their recurrence.
3. It acts as an antioxidant, protects the skin from harmful UV radiation and thus fights against visible signs of aging caused by negative environmental factors.
3. Stimulates the production of collagen, has a firming effect on the contours of the face and gives it a more youthful appearance
4. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce acne breakouts.
5. Unifies the overall colour tone of the skin. 6. Softens, tightens pores and visibly improves the overall appearance of the skin.

As we have already mentioned, bakuchiol is well tolerated, with very similar effects to retinol, and this makes it a so-called an attractive active substance of the cosmetic future.

Even though bakuchiol helps to reduce the skin's sensitivity to harmful sunlight, don't forget to always add a sun protection cream with OF to your daily skin care routine.
