Bakutrol A

Bakutrol A is a proprietary botanical cosmeceutical ingredient developed by Unigen, Inc., primarily for use in cosmetic and personal care products targeting acne and skin blemishes. It is a hydrolyzed extract derived from the seeds of *Psoralea corylifolia*, enriched to contain at least 60% bakuchiol. The ingredient functions as a multi-targeted agent with antimicrobial activity against acne-causing bacteria, inhibition of inflammatory enzymes including cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), and potent antioxidant properties. Clinical studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation without the irritation typically associated with synthetic treatments like benzoyl peroxide.
