Bakuchiol, a plant extract that offers the same skin benefits of a retinol, without the irksome side effects. Bakuchiol is an ingredient derived from the psoralea corylifolia plant," aka the "babchi” plant.
The plant has a long and impressive skin-care resume, starting with its use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Modern science has taken an interest, too. Bakuchiol has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antibacterial properties.
Bakuchiol functions similar to a retinol, increasing cell turnover thereby stimulating collagen production and diminishing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall photodamage.
