The Psoralea corylifolia plant, also known as babchi and found mostly throughout India is the source of bakuchiol an oil extracted from seeds and leaves that has been used in skin care for centuries. Bakuchiol is great for promoting collagen production, and has been shown to be a good replacement for vitamin A in skincare products. Bakuchiol is also an anti-inflammatory, so it can help reduce the appearance of blemishes and skin irritation. If you’re looking for an all-natural alternative to vitamin A, bakuchiol is a great choice!
