Bakuchiol – 99% Purified (Bakuchiol) is a Meroterpene supplied by MakeYourSkin as a viscous liquid for professional cosmetic formulation. Rooted in the Indian Ayurvedic tradition and sourced from India, it is valued for retinol-alternative positioning.

What is Bakuchiol – 99% Purified?

Bakuchiol – 99% Purified is supplied under the INCI / technical name Bakuchiol and carries CAS number 10309-37-2.

It belongs to the Meroterpene group and is derived from psoralea corylifolia seed. The material reaches you as a viscous liquid. It sits in the high-growth band of the 2025–2026 market, which means supply, pricing and claim substantiation are all moving quickly — confirm current availability before committing to a launch date.

Key Properties & Benefits

• Retinol-alternative positioning
• Carries an authentic Ayurvedic provenance story that resonates strongly with Indian and export consumers.

Uses & Applications

Bakuchiol – 99% Purified is used in anti-ageing serums, eye creams, night creams, ampoules, neck and décolleté treatments and firming body products.

Typical applications from the catalogue record: Sensitive-skin anti-ageing, pregnancy-positioned lines.

In leave-on skincare it is normally dosed into a serum, ampoule or moisturiser where contact time is long enough for the claim to hold up. In rinse-off formats it is used at a lower level for label presence and sensory contribution rather than measurable performance. In traditional Indian formats it appears in taila, ubtan, lepa and hair-oil preparations, and translates well into modern serum, mask and cleanser formats.

Handling note: Supplied ready to dose; check the active content on the technical data sheet, because liquid grades are usually dilutions.

How to Use — Recommended Use Level

General rule: always begin at the lower end of the range, confirm the level against the supplier technical data sheet, and validate stability, pH, colour, odour and preservative efficacy on the finished formulation before scaling up.

Technical Specification

Technical Notes

Insist on a psoralen-free specification — this is the difference between bakuchiol and babchi oil.

Regulatory Note

Supplier diligence required: Confirm purity and absence of psoralens; the purified isolate must not be confused with crude babchi oil.

Sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. In India, cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards (including IS 4707 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.
