WActive®Bakuchiol


WActive® Bakuchiol is a high-quality ingredient extracted from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, a plant integral to traditional Chinese medicine, using environmentally friendly and efficient methods such as supercritical CO2 extraction, which ensures purity without toxic residues, and high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) for precise compound separation. Known as "Plant Vitamin A," it offers a gentler yet structurally and functionally similar alternative to retinol, delivering powerful anti-aging and skin-repairing benefits. It provides antioxidant protection by scavenging DPPH and reducing cellular ROS levels. Additionally, it boosts the production of Collagen III, which is essential for maintaining skin integrity and resilience. Its anti-inflammatory, melanin-inhibiting, moisturizing and anti-acne properties further contribute to a youthful, radiant complexion and skin health.
