Why this grade

Bakuchiol delivers retinol-like results without retinol's instability drama — but only if the raw material itself is clean. Our 98% HPLC-verified bakuchiol is CO2-extracted from traceable Psoralea corylifolia seed, with the isomer profile documented lot by lot.

Unlike fermentation-derived lots that vary with every batch of biomass, extraction from controlled seed inventory gives you a stable spec you can build a hero SKU on. Use at 0.5-1.5%; fully oil-soluble and cold-processable.

Key benefits

  • 98% assay by HPLC, isomer profile documented per lot
  • CO2 extraction — no solvent residues, no thermal stress on the molecule
  • Fully oil-soluble, cold-processable, stable in anhydrous formats
  • COSMOS-compliant natural origin, cultivation-traceable

Ingredient profile

Bakuchiol is the plant-based answer to retinol, without the irritation or the vitamin-A regulatory load. Ours is produced by solvent-free CO2 extraction of Psoralea corylifolia seed, leaving a zero-residual-solvent material with a documented cBak isomer profile on every lot COA.

The 98%-plus HPLC assay and narrow batch-to-batch band mean your finished formula does not drift between drums — a real concern when you are replacing retinol at parity use levels of 0.5–1%. Bakuchiol pairs cleanly with squalane in anhydrous systems and with gentle emulsifiers in leave-on creams.

It is vegan, COSMOS-compatible, and carries a full allergen and residual-solvent profile. Because oxidation is the main stability risk, we publish packaging and antioxidant guidance — the same guidance used by the formulators we surveyed.

Product FAQ.

How is this bakuchiol produced?+
By CO2 extraction from Psoralea corylifolia, which leaves no residual solvents. The cBak isomer profile is documented on every lot COA.
What assay does the lot guarantee?+
≥ 98.0% by HPLC, with a narrow batch-to-batch band so you do not re-formulate between lots. Full methods are in the TDS.
What is the MOQ and lead time?+
MOQ is 5 kg and stock ships in 5-7 days. Qualification quantities below MOQ are available on a case-by-case basis.
How do I manage its stability in formula?+
The molecule is sensitive to oxidation; our journal article covers packaging and antioxidant strategies, and full stability data is available on request from the lab.
Which documentation travels with the order?+
Batch COA, MSDS, allergen profile and the regulatory dossier (REACH / IFRA where applicable) — issued per lot, not per year.
