Bakuchiol

Multiple early studies point out that the topical application of CBD may help calm and hydrate even the driest and most sensitive skin.

Very often, people with problematic skin who enjoy CBD infused cosmetics do not tolerate retinol very well. As retinol has been one of the most reliable and clinically proven anti-ageing ingredients, having a bad reaction to cosmetics containing it can be very disappointing. Fortunately, we can now use Bakuchiol as an alternative.

Bakuchiol comes from Psoralea Corylifolia, lovingly referred to as Babchi.

Babchi Is a green plant with beautiful, small, purple flowers. The flowers produce seeds, which are then used to extract the precious Bakuchiol.&

Beauty products that incorporate Bakuchiol are great for people who want to improve the appearance of their skin, especially when it has suffered from photodamage. This is because using Bakuchiol leads to a decreased visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Studies on Bakuchiol and its effectiveness in beauty treatments have shown it can support collagen and elastin production, and evens out our pigmentation without causing skin irritation, dryness, or excessive redness.

If your skin is sensitive, using a serum or a booster containing Bakuchiol twice a day is the best way to improve its appearance and texture.

This is a dream come true for anybody with difficult or sensitive skin.

While retinol should only be applied in the evenings due to its sun sensitivity, Bakuchiol can be used both in the morning and evening.

You will also be happy to learn that you won't have to wait long to see the first results. A famous study shows that 12 weeks of continuous use is enough to notice a visible change in the look of your skin.

Even though Bakuchiol is considered to be more gentle than retinol, any ingredient has the potential to irritate the skin. While unlikely, if you experience irritation, make sure to stop using cosmetics with Bakuchiol.

Last but not least, Bakuchiol seeds are very potent. Avoid putting them directly on the skin, as it might lead to blisters. Instead, use a product that contains Bakuchiol extract.

This humble-looking plant has been used in Chinese and Indian medicine for centuries.

Historians believe Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalists used the Psoralea Corylifolia plant to cure various skin diseases and reduce inflammation.

Mentioned in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, the plant was said to also help those who suffer from any bone diseases, including bone fractures or various orthopaedic disorders.

A real all-rounder.
