BAKUCHIOL SERUM

Bakuchiol Serum is a plant-based skincare treatment known for its anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is derived from the seeds and leaves of the Psoralea corylifolia plant (commonly known as Babchi) and is often marketed as a natural alternative to retinol (vitamin A), but without the harsh side effects like redness, dryness, or irritation.
