The plant is also called babchi, and you will therefore sometimes come across this oil under the name babchi oil or bakuchi oil. Our oil is cold-pressed and has a light brown color and a sweet, nutty scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBakuchiol Olie versus pure bakuchiol\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure bakuchiol is an isolated molecule that is extracted from the plant by chemical processes, often in concentrations of 95 to 99%. Our oil is different: a cold-pressed vegetable oil in which bakuchiol is naturally present. According to our supplier, our oil contains about 13.8% bakuchiol, which is on the high side for cold-pressed varieties and underpins its effect. The remaining 86% consists of the natural fatty acids and plant substances from the seed, which makes the oil softer and more widely nourishing than an isolated bakuchiol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Bakuchiol Oil made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant are cracked and cold-pressed. With cold-pressed oil, no heat above 30 degrees is used during pressing, and no solvents are used. Then the oil is filtered and ready for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBakuchiol Oil and Psoralens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn important fact about bakuchiol oil: the Psoralea corylifolia plant also naturally contains psoralens and furanocoumarins, substances that can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. But these substances are found in the fruits, leaves and pods of the plant, not in the seeds. Because our oil is only pressed from the seeds, it is naturally psoralen-free. This is an important difference from some other bakuchiol oils on the market, and means that our oil can also be safely used on the skin during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Bakuchiol Oil so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakuchiol is often seen as a natural counterpart to retinol. Scientific research has shown that bakuchiol can have similar effects on the skin as retinol, namely supporting cell turnover, stimulating collagen production and softening fine lines and pigmentation. The difference lies in the effect: bakuchiol is much gentler on the skin, rarely irritates and is suitable for almost any skin type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Bakuchiol Oil for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro-age operation without irritation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBakuchiol supports cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, which helps soften fine lines and promote a firmer and smoother appearance of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEvens out the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe oil helps to soften pigmentation spots and imperfections and promotes a more even skin tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for sensitive skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike retinol, bakuchiol rarely causes redness or flaking.

You can use the oil pure or mix it with a lighter base oil such as jojoba oil or squalane. For your hair, massage a few drops into the lengths and possibly into the scalp before washing, leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes and wash out with your regular shampoo. Bakuchiol Oil is also a great ingredient in DIY pro-age serums and facial oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips for using Bakuchiol Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBakuchiol oil has a characteristic, earthy and nutty scent.
