If you’re a skincare lover who’s been on the hunt for natural alternatives to retinol, let me introduce you to bakuchi and bakuchiol—two powerful plant-based ingredients that are changing the game for radiant, youthful skin.
I’m all about blending nature with skincare, and bakuchi (pronounced buh-KOO-chee) and its superstar extract, bakuchiol, have earned their place in my products for a good reason.
What is Bakuchi?
Bakuchi comes from the Psoralea corylifolia plant, also known as Babchi in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. This small but mighty herb has been used for centuries to treat skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and even skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It’s packed with antioxidants and healing properties that promote skin renewal.
And What About Bakuchiol?
Bakuchiol is the gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol—without the irritation. It’s extracted from bakuchi seeds and delivers similar benefits to retinol:
✔️ Boosts collagen production for firmer skin
✔️ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
✔️ Evens out skin tone and fades dark spots
✔️ Soothes the skin without redness or peeling
Unlike traditional retinol, bakuchiol is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and is even gentle enough for daytime use since it doesn’t increase sun sensitivity.
Why I Use Bakuchi & Bakuchiol in My Products
I love incorporating these ingredients into my Eterna Luxe Body Souffle, and Eterna Luxe facial care products (releasing soon) because they help the skin naturally renew itself while staying nourished and hydrated. Plus, bakuchiol works beautifully with other plant-based oils and butters, making it a must-have for glowing, healthy skin.
How to Use Bakuchiol in Your Skincare Routine
Daily Moisturizer: If you want the benefits of bakuchiol, look for it in your facial moisturizers and serums.
Gentle Cleansing: A facial soap infused with bakuchi extract provides antioxidant benefits while keeping your skin balanced.
Nighttime Ritual: Since bakuchiol helps with skin renewal, using it at night allows your skin to repair while you sleep.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been hesitant to try retinol or struggle with sensitive skin, bakuchi and bakuchiol are fantastic natural alternatives. They give your skin all the anti-aging benefits without irritation—just smooth, glowing, happy skin.
I love bringing the best of nature into every product, and bakuchiol is one of my absolute favorites! Have you tried it yet? Let’s talk skincare!
Stay radiant,
