Description

Bakuchiol CAS NO 17015-60-0 is a plant-derived meroterpene compound recognized as a natural, sustainable alternative to retinol in cosmetic formulations. Its value lies in providing comparable anti-aging and skin-renewing benefits, such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin elasticity, without the common side effects of irritation and photosensitivity. This makes it a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetic, personal care, and nutraceutical industries seeking effective, consumer-friendly bioactive components.

Application

• Anti-Aging Skincare Products: A key active in serums, creams, and lotions for its retinol-like activity in stimulating collagen and elastin production.
• Acne Treatment Formulations: Used for its anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties in cleansers and targeted treatments.
• Sensitive Skin Solutions: Incorporated into products designed for skin types intolerant to traditional retinoids due to its gentle efficacy.
• Hair Care Products: Applied in shampoos and scalp treatments to promote hair health and reduce signs of aging in the scalp.
• Natural & Organic Cosmetic Lines: Serves as a cornerstone ingredient for brands marketing vegan, clean-beauty, and botanically-derived products.
• Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplements: Utilized for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits in oral supplement formats.
• Sun Care and After-Sun Products: Formulated for its skin-soothing and reparative properties post-sun exposure.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Investigated in research for its broader pharmacological potential, including antimicrobial and hepatoprotective effects.
