What is bakuchiol oil (also called bakuchi/babchi oil)?

Bakuchiol oil is a natural botanical extract from the babchi plant (Psoralea corylifolia). Often chosen as a retinol alternative, it supports a smoother texture and more even tone, and can help fade the look of dark spots – without the irritation associated with strong retinoids. Visit our Bakuchiol vs Retinol blog post to discover more!

Suitable for:

  • Dry, sensitive or reactive skin types
  • Anyone seeking a natural anti-ageing solution
  • Acne-prone or inflamed skin
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women (retinol alternative)

How to use

Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin, morning or night. Use alone or add to your moisturiser. If using in the daytime on exposed skin, follow with SPF.

Our cold-pressed bakuchiol oil absorbs quickly for comfortable wear, making it ideal for daytime under SPF or as a nourishing evening step.

Bakuchiol Oil for Dark Spots & Pigmentation

Bakuchiol helps improve the look of uneven tone and dark spots by supporting skin renewal and a more even complexion—without the sensitivity often linked to retinoids.

  • How to target pigmentation: Apply 2–3 drops nightly to clean, dry skin for at least 8–12 weeks.
  • Pro tip: Use daily SPF in the morning to help prevent new dark spots.

Morning vs Evening: How to Layer Bakuchiol Oil

  • Morning: Cleanse → bakuchiol oil → moisturiser → SPF → make-up (optional). Absorbs quickly and preps skin for a smooth base.
  • Evening: Cleanse → bakuchiol oil → richer cream if desired. Ideal for overnight nourishment and renewal.
  • With actives: Pairs well with niacinamide and hydrating serums; avoid pairing with strong retinoids.

Bakuchiol for Sensitive or Acne-Prone Skin

This gentle botanical is a great choice when retinol feels too harsh. It helps calm visible redness and supports a clearer-looking complexion.

  • Sensitive skin: Start once daily for a week, then increase as comfortable.
  • Blemish-prone: Use after cleansing and before a light moisturiser. Non-greasy and fast-absorbing.
