S2 EP14 BAKUCHIOL: skincare's hottest ingredient - where is it from and how does it work?

You may have heard of 2019’s hottest skincare ingredient bakuchiol because of its regular comparison to retinol and the industry highlighting studies that compare its properties to that of vitamin A. But do you know where bakuchiol comes from and that it’s been used in ancient medicine for centuries? In celebration of launching a deluxe sized Bakuchiol Booster over on bybi.com, we delve into the Ayurvedic origins of bakuchiol as an ingredient and why it’s come to be so widely used in modern skincare. To help us, we interview skin influencer and expert Alisa of @lifeofalisalani. Alisa has done a lot of work in raising awareness of bakuchiol’s amazing back story and giving credit to the communities who discovered it before it hit the western beauty industry. We talk about the ingredient in more detail as well as some of its amazing benefits - firming, increasing collagen production and smoothing to name but a few!
