Lipoid Kosmetik AG presents BakuLipid, an ingredient combining the retinol-like efficacy of bakuchiol with unsaturated phospholipids to enhance skin penetration for anti-aging skin benefits.
Natural Safer Retinol Alternative
It is well-known that retinol is the gold standard for anti-aging and anti-blemish properties in skin but can cause skin irritation. As such, plant-based alternatives to retinol, such as bakuchiol from Psoralea corylifolia seeds, have emerged as gentler options with comparable effectiveness.
In relation, Lipoid Kosmetik AG developed BakuLipid (INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Bakuchiol (and) Lecithin (and) Tocopherol), a "revolutionary" blend of bakuchiol and unsaturated phospholipids. As skin penetration enhancers, the unsaturated phospholipids are said to amplify the cosmetic potency of bakuchiol.
Bakuchiol-powered In vivo Skin Benefits
According to the company, BakuLipid has been proven to outperform bakuchiol in vivo, effectively targeting blemishes and signs of aging. The ingredient thus provides substantiated benefits such as:
- Acting as a skin-friendly, plant-based retinol alternative,
- Providing superior dermal penetration,
- Reducing blemishes and controlling sebum and
- Improving age-related skin parameters such as wrinkles.
The ingredient is provided in an easy-to-use lipophilic concentrate that is preservative-free/self-preserving.
