In cosmetics, retinol is well-known for its anti ageing and anti-blemish properties, yet it may cause skin irritations. Consequently, plant based alternatives like bakuchiol are gaining popularity as gentler options with similar effectiveness. Several in vivo studies have confirmed the efficacy of bakuchiol, though its formulations are still being optimized.
One potential strategy is to enhance the epidermal penetration of bakuchiol and combine it with complementary substances. Phospholipids are an excellent example; they are natural components of cell membranes, making them highly biocompatible, completely biodegradable, and free of irritation. Unsaturated phospholipids improve skin delivery and serve as active ingredients for skin care and rejuvenation.
Lipoid Kosmetik’s BakuLipid® is the first active ingredient blend approved by COSMOS and NATRUE, combining bakuchiol from Psoralea corylifolia seeds with unsaturated phospholipids to enhance skin penetration. This dual function makes BakuLipid® highly effective for treating skin blemishes and age related concerns, significantly outperforming bakuchiol in vivo.
