Frequently Asked Questions

What is bakuchiol used for?

Bakuchiol (CAS 10309-37-2) is a naturally occurring meroterpene phenol supplied as a cosmetic raw material. PubChem classifies it as a cosmetic antimicrobial ingredient, and it is used as a phenolic input in leave-on and rinse-off skin-care and body-care formulations. RawSource supplies it in bulk to personal-care manufacturers.

What plant does bakuchiol come from?

Bakuchiol is a naturally occurring meroterpene phenol traditionally isolated from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia (babchi). Commercial material may be plant-derived or synthetically produced to the same structure. Confirm the source route on the CoA for a given lot.

What is the chemical structure of bakuchiol?

Bakuchiol has molecular formula C18H24O and CAS 10309-37-2. It is a meroterpene phenol, combining a phenolic ring with a terpenoid chain. RawSource provides identity and specification documentation with each bulk order.

What can bakuchiol not be mixed with in a formulation?

As a phenolic, lipophilic raw material, bakuchiol is typically incorporated into the oil phase and pairs well with emollient systems. Compatibility with other actives and preservatives should be confirmed through formulation stability testing. Consult the technical data sheet and SDS for handling and compatibility guidance.

How is bulk bakuchiol supplied and priced?

RawSource supplies bakuchiol in bulk quantities for cosmetic and personal-care formulators. Pricing is quote-based and depends on volume, source (natural vs synthetic), and purity grade. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity and specification for current pricing and lead time.
