Bakuchiol Oil Extract (CO₂) / High-Purity Plant-Derived Retinol Alternative

Bakuchiol Oil Extract (CO₂) 98% – Cosmetic Grade

Bakuchiol Oil Extract (CO₂) 98% is a concentrated, plant-derived cosmetic active extracted from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi plant) using CO₂ extraction technology.

Widely recognised as a botanical alternative to retinol, Bakuchiol is valued for its antioxidant, skin-conditioning and age-supporting properties. It is commonly incorporated into advanced skincare formulations designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone and skin texture.

Unlike traditional retinol, Bakuchiol is photostable, making it suitable for both daytime and night-time cosmetic formulations.

Our current batch contains 98% Bakuchiol, confirmed by HPLC analysis, and is supplied as a orange to brown, viscous oily liquid for professional cosmetic formulation.
