1. Material Overview

Bakuchiol Oil is a plant-derived oil obtained from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia.

This cosmetic-grade raw material is supplied exclusively for further formulation into cosmetic and personal care products. The oil contains naturally occurring bakuchiol, a stable, non-volatile phenolic compound with a lipid carrier base, offering compatibility in oil and emulsion systems.

Due to its potent plant-derived constituents, appropriate dosing in formulations is recommended.

2. Physical & Organoleptic Characteristics

• Appearance: Clear to pale yellow liquid

• Color: Pale yellow

• Odor: Mild, characteristic botanical aroma

• Solubility: Oil soluble

• Viscosity: Medium

Natural variation may occur depending on harvest, extraction method, and batch.

3. Composition & Functional Attributes

Bakuchiol Oil typically contains:

• Bakuchiol (phenolic compound)

• Linoleic acid

• Oleic acid

• Palmitic acid

• Other naturally occurring fatty acids and phytochemicals

Functional Contribution in Formulations

Within cosmetic systems, Bakuchiol Oil is selected for its ability to:

• Serve as a stable, plant-derived emollient in oil and emulsion systems

• Support lipid-phase integrity and smooth sensory feel

• Complement botanical positioning in formulations

• Provide compatibility with other oil-soluble active ingredients

All functional performance must be validated within the final cosmetic formulation.

4. Suitable Formulation Applications

• Facial oil blends

• Serums and emulsion oil phases

• Anhydrous botanical blends

• Hair and scalp conditioning formulations

Inclusion levels should be determined through formulation trials, stability testing, and regulatory evaluation.

5. Storage & Stability

• Store in a cool, dry place

• Protect from direct light and heat

• Keep container tightly sealed

• Consider antioxidant stabilization for extended shelf-life

Bakuchiol Oil exhibits good oxidative stability compared to highly polyunsaturated oils, but proper storage is recommended.

6. Handling & Manufacturing Considerations

This material should be handled in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

• Allergen assessment and stability testing are recommended

• Ensure inclusion levels are suitable for cosmetic safety assessment

Compatibility testing, microbiological evaluation (if applicable), stability assessment, and final cosmetic safety evaluation remain the responsibility of the formulator or Responsible Person.

7. Regulatory Positioning

This product is supplied strictly as a raw cosmetic ingredient for further formulation.

It is not a finished cosmetic product and is not marketed for direct consumer application.

The purchaser assumes full responsibility for compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, CPSR preparation, PIF documentation, labeling, stability testing, and notification procedures.

8. Interesting Facts About the Raw Material

• Bakuchiol is a naturally occurring plant phenol derived from Psoralea corylifolia seeds.

• Unlike retinol, it is non-volatile, plant-stable, and compatible with sensitive formulations.

• The oil acts as a carrier for bakuchiol while contributing its own fatty acid profile.

• Traditionally referenced in botanical medicine, now incorporated in modern cosmetic science.

• Cold-pressed or low-temperature extraction preserves its chemical integrity.
