Bakuchi Oil (Babchi Oil) from Oils of Nature

Discover Bakuchi Oil, also known as Babchi Oil, a botanical oil derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia. With a long history in Ayurvedic-inspired skin preparations, this richly emollient oil is an ingredient for carefully formulated facial oils, serums and body oil blends.

A botanical oil for skincare blends

  • Also known as Babchi Oil or Bakuchi seed oil.
  • Strong, earthy, herbal aroma and a golden to deep amber appearance.
  • Pairs with oils such as jojoba, rosehip, argan and sweet almond in skincare formulations.
  • Available from Oils of Nature in 30ml, 100ml and 200ml sizes.

Is Bakuchi Oil natural retinol?

Bakuchi Oil is sometimes marketed as a natural retinol alternative, but it is not retinol. Botanical seed oil should also not be confused with a purified bakuchiol ingredient. Do not assume that research or safety claims for a formulated bakuchiol product apply to this oil.
