Identity & coverage details

Official CosIng inventory context recorded; chemical identity and the complete current regulatory profile remain unverified; selected human studies available.

Recorded presence is not a safety rating, recommended dose or benefit claim.

Identity and formulation context

Names are indexed using case and whitespace normalization. Botanical, chemical and marketing identities have not been independently equated.

Bakuchiol is not retinol or a retinoid. Equal percentages with different application frequencies do not establish equivalent delivered doses or equivalent outcomes for other vehicles.

How this inventory match is used

The European Commission’s CosIng inventory is informational. An entry is not permission to use an ingredient or a safety assessment. Listed functions describe the inventory entry; they do not establish a finished product’s effects. The match uses the exact ingredient name, with case and whitespace normalization.

Human study context

Primary publications checked 2026-10-03. These are selected studies, not a systematic review, safety rating or instructions for using a product.

Prospective, randomized, double-blind assessment of topical bakuchiol and retinol for facial photoageing.

2019 · Original abstract reviewed

Material tested: 0.5% bakuchiol cream versus 0.5% retinol cream.
Study design: Randomized, double-blind active-comparator trial.
Participants: 44 patients with facial photoageing.
Concentration and schedule in the study: 12 weeks; bakuchiol twice daily, retinol once daily.
What the authors reported: Both groups improved measured wrinkle area and pigmentation; no statistically significant between-group difference. Retinol users reported more scaling and stinging.

What this does not establish

Small trial without a vehicle-only group; no detected difference does not prove equivalence.
Different application frequencies confound dose comparisons. Journal issue 2019; first electronic publication 2018.
