Bakuchiol 99% CO₂ Select Extract is a highly concentrated botanical active derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia Linn., a plant traditionally known as Babchi. This premium extract is standardized to 99% Bakuchiol, making it an exceptional ingredient for advanced skincare formulations focused on visible radiance, smoother-looking skin, and refined cosmetic performance.
Bakuchiol is widely valued in modern cosmetic formulation as a plant-derived retinol alternative. Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is not a vitamin A derivative, yet it is prized for its ability to support the appearance of firmer, smoother, more even-looking skin. It is ideal for luxury facial oils, serums, night treatments, creams, balms, and high-performance botanical skincare.
With its oil-soluble nature and elegant skin feel, Bakuchiol 99% CO₂ Select Extract blends beautifully into anhydrous formulations, facial oils, emulsions, and active skincare products. It is especially attractive for brands seeking a natural-inspired alternative to conventional retinoid-style ingredients.
