Bakuchiol

Summary

Bakuchiol, a plant compound used in our formulas for a smoother, firmer look. The trial we cite compared it with retinol on sun-aged facial skin.

Renewal in the formula

Bakuchiol sits in our formulas for one job: supporting a firmer, smoother look. We file it under Firmness in this glossary for the job we use it for, and the evidence section below says how far its source goes.

Renewal in the collagen

The mechanism is the one stated in the summary above, and we have deliberately not extended it. Where a supplier or a competitor would reach for a bigger promise, the sentence we publish stops where the research stops.

Renewal in the evidence

Our source is a randomised controlled trial published in an indexed journal, recorded as Dhaliwal 2019 PMID 29947134. You can read it yourself at PubMed 29947134. We grade that as the strongest kind of evidence we recognise.

Renewal and its limits

The research behind Bakuchiol studies the ingredient, not the finished Opuliss product it sits in. It is not a trial of our formula, and we will not present it as one.

Cosmetic claims describe how skin looks and feels. Nothing here is a medical claim, and nothing here treats a condition.
