Bakuchiol – also called natural retinol – is the new wonder weapon in terms of skin care and could push the undisputed beauty queen Retinol from her throne. So far, it has provided us with wrinkle-free, clean skin. But now the synthetically produced vitamin A is getting great competition from nature.
Bakuchiol: what's behind the magic?
Natural ingredients are in greater demand than ever in the beauty industry. It is therefore not particularly surprising that Bakuchiol is currently experiencing a lot of hype. The herbal detox from Asia has the same great properties as retinol. Conversely, this means:
- less skin irritation
- no chemistry
- fewer side effects
In Chinese medicine, bakuchiol has been used as a remedy for skin problems for centuries. Because the plant extract from the seeds of the Indian babchi plant should not only fight wrinkles, but also impurities. It is actually surprising that the all-round talent has only just arrived in the beauty world.
Anti-aging effect with bakuchiol
Pure vitamin A acid is currently the most effective substance for smooth, wrinkle-free skin. Unfortunately, this is not for sensitive skin. It often reacts with redness and dryness. After all, retinol is an acid that the skin needs to get used to slowly.
But that doesn't apply to Bakuchiol! Studies show that the plant extract, like retinol, stimulates the collagen balance in the body, smoothes, strengthens and protects the connective tissue of the skin and is just as effective – just without nasty side effects.
That's why you shouldn't miss out on Bakuchiol
- Away with the chemistry club, here with the natural wonder!
- Also perfect for sensitive skin: the active ingredient does not let the skin dry out, but moisturizes it.
- Bakuchiol has an antioxidant effect and fights free radicals that accelerate the aging process.
- Due to the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, Bakuchiol also helps with impurities. This prevents unsightly pimples and the skin heals faster.
