1PLANT OILS & BUTTERS
Bakuchi Seeds Oil
Cold-pressed seed, nut and fruit oils plus unrefined butters.
Bakuchiol has become the best-known plant alternative to retinol, and it comes from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, known in India as bakuchi or babchi. This bakuchi oil is for anyone who wants smoother texture, softer fine lines and a more even tone but cannot tolerate retinoid peeling and redness. Published work suggests bakuchiol may support skin renewal and a more even tone, with far less irritation.
Our bottle holds one thing: seed oil pressed cold, with no heat, no hexane and no carrier stretching the volume. That matters, because a potent botanical loses its point once it is diluted with mineral oil or silicone. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, and it blends easily into your own moisturiser.
Bakuchiol or retinol? Bakuchiol is the gentler choice for sensitive skin. Bakuchi seed oil can make skin more sensitive to sun, so use two or three drops at night and wear sunscreen the next morning. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before using it.
Single-ingredient bakuchi seed oil for fine lines and pigmentation, minus retinol irritation.

Bakuchi Seeds Oil
Take two to three drops at night, on their own or stirred into your moisturiser, and massage gently until absorbed. Start two or three nights a week and build to nightly once your skin is comfortable.
Yes, it suits most adult skin concerned with fine lines, uneven tone or dark spots, including skin that finds retinol too harsh. It is a potent, undiluted botanical, so always patch test on the inner arm first.
Use it at night, building up to nightly use. Bakuchi seed oil can make skin more sensitive to sun, so wear sunscreen the next morning.
Many people choose bakuchiol instead of retinol because it is gentler. If you use prescription actives such as tretinoin, check with your dermatologist first, and with any other active, add one new product at a time so you can tell how your skin responds.
Please check with your doctor before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
