Bakuchiol
The question

Is Bakuchiol safe in anti-aging serums?

ClearedAnti-aging serums

Plant-derived retinol alternative from babchi seeds. Clinical studies show comparable anti-aging and skin-smoothing results to retinol with significantly less irritation.

What the research flags

  • Less clinical data than retinol — mechanism of action still under investigation
  • Pregnancy safety not as well established as retinol avoidance — caution still advisable
