Consumers today demand high-performance skincare backed by efficacy and transparency. BCR answers that call with Bakuchiol Ester BCR, a next-generation active ingredient that blends natural origin with advanced functionality. Designed to support anti-aging and barrier restoration, this ingredient delivers proven retinol-like results without the typical side effects, making it ideal for sensitive skin and multi-benefit formulations.
The Science Behind Bakuchiol Ester BCR
Bakuchiol Ester BCR is a bio-based active composed of Bakuchiyl Salicylate and Vitamin F glyceryl esters (Glyceryl Linoleate and Glyceryl Linolenate). Unlike traditional bakuchiol or retinol, this esterified version is developed to improve dermal permeation, helping the skin absorb and utilize the active components more efficiently. This enhancement results in better clinical performance while maintaining excellent skin tolerance.
In clinical evaluations, Bakuchiol Ester BCR stimulated the production of both Collagen IV and Hyaluronic Acid, two essential elements that promote firmness and hydration. These benefits contribute to smoother skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a more radiant complexion.
Key Claims and Efficacy
- Increases Collagen IV production by over 50% compared to untreated control*
- Boosts Hyaluronic Acid output by nearly 50%*
- Encourages cell turnover for healthier, younger-looking skin
- Protects against oxidative stress and reinforces the skin’s natural barrier
- Improves hydration with the help of Vitamin F-derived essential fatty acids
