INCI: Psoralea corylifolia seed oil

Essentially Natural Bakuchiol Oil, also known as Bakuchi Oil, is a cold pressed seed oil from Psoralea corylifolia used in oil-based skincare and cosmetic formulation. It is a dark botanical oil with a richer feel, so it is generally blended into facial oils, serums or creams rather than used as a stand-alone face oil. This ingredient is oil soluble, not water soluble, and works best in formulas that already include an oil phase. It is a botanical formulation oil, not a purified bakuchiol isolate.

♡ Why we love it: Bakuchiol Oil gives formulators a distinctive plant-led option for richer facial oils and treatment-style blends. It is especially useful for makers wanting a more botanical route rather than a highly refined single active.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.

Can one mix the Bakuchiol with Castor Oil?

Essentially Natural

Hi Charmane

Yes, you could mix Bakuchiol with Castor Oil, they're both oil based and should combine well. This could be great for hydration, soothing inflamation and skin renewal but do keep in mind that each are both quite potent - it is suggested to do a patch test before complete application to ensure minimal reactivity.

If you do have anymore questions we are keen to assist!

Kind Regards,
Aiden
