That’s where Bakuchiol, a revolution in the skincare range comes in. Derived from the Babchi seeds, a plant native to India, the formula has been in the used in Indian and Chinese history for skincare, the substance also has a beautiful lilac-purple hue making its products immensely pleasing to the eye.
