Q & A

Is your Bakuchiol the one from Sytheon?

Yes! We source our Sytenol® A Bakuchiol from Sytheon, the only manufacturer of this single molecule ingredient.

Is Bakuchiol the same as Retinol?

No, Bakuchiol is not Retinol. Bakuchiol is a completely unique active ingredient that provides the same results Retinol is known for, but with the added benefit that can be used during the day, as it's not photo-toxic.

Is this safe to apply during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Bakuchiol is not like all retinols (vitamins A), and because it is not related to vitamin A that it might be considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. However because there isn't significant data that we could find, we recommend consulting your doctor before applying any product containing Bakuchiol.

Is this the fake Bakuchiol extract that's so bad for the skin?

No. Our Bakuchiol Smoothing Serum contains the REAL Bakuchiol meroterpene, not the aqueous extract, which is not and should not be called Bakuchiol but Psoralea corylifolia Extract. For more information on what is Bakuchiol please visit this ARTICLE

Why is your Bakuchiol Serum yellow/gold and not purple?

Bakuchiol (Sytenol® A), the real single molecule ingredient from the only manufacturer Sytheon, is a sticky and dense golden/brown oil soluble ingredient. Products formulated with this ingredient are never white, purple or pink.

Can you formulate a water based serum with Bakuchiol?

Because Bakuchiol is hydrophobic (water repellent) ingredient, and it's an oil soluble ingredient, it's impossible to formulate a fully water-based serum without the use of a solubilizer or emulsifier. In the case an emulsifier is used, the product will result into either a milk, light lotion or cream, depending on formulation.

Best bakuchiol product I've tried

I'm a woman, early 30's with acne, acne scars and some fine lines, no wrinkles yet.

I bought this oil serum because it was recommended by an influencer on the flip shop app. I was using the herbivore bakuchiol without any visible results and when I found out herbivore's bakuchiol doesn't actually contain bakuchiol I stopped buying their products altogether.

I've used this serum for a solid month now with my morning and evening routines. First of the packaging is absolutely elegant and timeless. On its own it stands out among the many other products with colorful bottles and pqckaging. I ove the chunky, heavy bottle and the dropper! I can get the amount of product I need without waste. The sweet scent is delicate and not overpowering at all. The oil feels silky smooth and soaks in right away without leaving my skin greasy which is a plus. I do recommend not overdoing it. All you need is really 2 drops of product morning and evening. There's a lot of product on this bottle, so even though it's pricey it will last you. I've used for a month and I have barely scrapped the surface.

I started noticing the difference this product made on my skin almost immediately. A week into applying it consistently twice a day as recommended my skin not only looked brighter and healthier, the breakouts and scars and fine lines were visibly smoother and starting to fade away. By week two my acne was surprisingly under control and my skin appeared much, much healthier than ever before. It's been a month now and I cannot live without this serum. My skin is almost perfect! My acne and breakouts are under control, and the skin around my eyes is smooth and plumped.

This bakuchiol is the real deal. You will not be disappointed!
