Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a meroterpene phenol derived from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. Clinical studies show it provides retinol-like anti-aging benefits — improving fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and skin tone — without the irritation associated with retinol. It is suitable for sensitive skin and is considered safe during pregnancy.
