Bakuchiol Market Report

A pharmaceutical composition containing bakuchiol or an extract containing bakuchiol is one embodiment of this novel use, which can be in the dosage forms of topical use, oral administration, injection, or sustained release. The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition including bakuchiol as an active component for the prevention or treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis or breast cancer in women.

It has been used to treat leucoderma, psoriasis and leprosy both topically and internally. Bakuchiol is an option for both protective and restorative anti-aging, so it can be used to combat the first signs of ageing as well as to improve the quality of photodamaged skin. A lotion containing 1% Bakuchiol was tested on 16 volunteers aged 41 to 60 in a clinical study. There was a significant improvement in lines and wrinkles (-20% wrinkle depth), pigmentation, elasticity, firmness, and overall photo-damage after 12 weeks, with no irritation to the skin. Bakuchiol has been shown in clinical studies to be more effective than salicylic acid in reducing acne by 48% after 6 weeks. It may be beneficial to both teenagers with sensitive skin and adults with oily skin.

The University of California conducted a double-blind clinical study on 44 volunteers comparing pure Bakuchiol (SytenolTM A) and retinol, both used in a cream at the same concentration (0.5%), according to a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The two active ingredients performed similarly in terms of photoaging (59% reduction in hyperpigmentation after 12 weeks), based on the study. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, is much better tolerated by the skin, especially when it comes to stinging and desquamation (significant differences in comparison with retinol). UC Davis eventually concluded that bakuchiol could effectively improve the signs of ageing in the skin, and Bakuchiol is one alternative that the skin tolerates better than retinol.

Bakuchi helps in treating a variety of digestive issues due to its remarkable carminative and digestive properties. Reduced gas formation in the alimentary canal due to the anti-flatulent property decreases flatulence, bloating, constipation, and abdominal distension. The herb's antacid properties stop the production of excessive acid in the stomach, treating conditions including indigestion, gastritis, ulcers, and facilitating improved nutritional absorption

While bakuchiol is considered a gentler alternative to retinoids, there is still a risk of sensitivity, including redness, dryness or stinging of the skin, especially with initial use. It implies that you can still experience some discomfort until your skin adjusts to bakuchiol.

Sep 16, 2022: Bakuchiol has been added to the Chinese government's list of ingredients that can be used in cosmetics. This measure is intended to increase Chinese manufacturing and exports of Bakuchiol-based products.

February 25, 2022: To better service its clients in the Asia Pacific Region, Sytheon has announced the opening of a new office in Singapore. After opening in February 2022, Sytheon Asia joined the network of international offices that already included France and the US headquarters in New Jersey.

During the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to be the fastest-growing bakuchiol market. The region's cosmetics industry is expected to increase significantly due to growing disposable income levels and changing consumer lifestyle trends. Furthermore, the existence of a high number of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in the haircare and skincare sectors is boosting market growth. North America is projected to be a key bakuchiol market as well. The region's consumers' increased preference for organic and natural cosmetics is fuelling demand for bakuchiol-based products. Furthermore, growing consumer awareness of the advantages of employing plant-derived compounds in cosmetics is driving up sales in the region.
