Babchi, also known as Bakuchi, is a popular herb that is widely used in Ayurveda: one of the world's oldest holistic healing systems. It originated over 5000 years ago. The oil extracted from Babchi seeds is also known as Babchi or Bakuchi carrier oil. This oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a variety of skin conditions. This is why we've started to add it to our Under Eye Cream .
It can be used for:
Skin disorders Babchi/Bakuchi carrier oil is known for its anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. This makes it an excellent natural remedy for skin disorders like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. The oil helps to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin, making it an effective treatment for these conditions.
Hyperpigmentation Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition that causes dark spots on the skin. Babchi/Bakuchi carrier oil contains psoralen, a compound that is known to reduce hyperpigmentation. This makes it an excellent natural remedy for those who want to lighten their skin tone.
Signs of aging Babchi/Bakuchi carrier oil is rich in antioxidants that help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Many consider it a natural Retinol???
Bakuchiol, one of the components of Bakuchi oil, it is often compared to retinol although more research is still needed to fully support this claim.
What is Retinol?
When it comes to anti-aging skincare, there is one ingredient that stands out above the rest: Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, which has been used for decades in skincare formulations to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and even out skin tone.
Whilst there is no doubt that Retinol can improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, prevent acne, it can also cause skin irritation, make the skin more sun sensitive, can be harmful to developing fetus - a no no for pregnant women and can cause blistering in extreme cases.
Bakuchi oil's Bakuchiol component on the other hand, has no side effects.
With Bakuchiol you can enjoy the benefits of Retinol without the potential side effects. It is gentle on the skin, safe to use during the day, and a natural ingredient derived from the babchi plant.
