The Importance of Ingredients
Bakuchiol
Similar to fashion, the beauty and skincare industry go through fads and ‘must haves’ too. But the great thing about skincare is that it is backed by science!

This is why at The Jojoba Company; we are always upgrading our formulas and crafting newbies for you all to enjoy. Because once our Co-Founder Vicki has her eyes locked on a fabulous ingredient, it’s all hands-on deck to create a product to include its beauty.

What is Bakuchiol
Found in the seeds of the Babchi plant Bakuchiol is similar to Jojoba in the fact that it has been used for centuries! Particularly in Chinese and Indian cultures, Bakuchiol has been a favoured ingredient to hyperpigmentation and other skin irritations. But now we have uncovered that this gorgeous purple flower is so.much.more! Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial research shows that Bakuchiol reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, has a pronounced soothing effect and can benefit all skin types. That’s right ALL skin types.
What is Bakuchiols Big Deal?
So, what right? Well the reason Bakuchiol has taken off is because people have mirrored its impact ono the skin with retinol. You may have heard: ‘Natures retinol’ ‘A natural alternative to retinol’ ‘A natural form of retinol’. A vegan friendly, non-irritant, chemical free ingredient that gives all the benefits of a retinol but without the nasties. Sound familiar? That’s because you may have seen a similar statement floating around on this exact website. A safe and effective ingredient free from any nasties is what The Jojoba Company’s ethos is. So, it just makes sense that we have included Bakuchiol in our products, right?
