Bakuchiol in Joy Moy® Ultimate BioBotanical™ Bakuchiol + HA + Niacinamide Face Serum is a vegan skincare ingredient found in leaves and seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. It’s a potent ingredient shown to address wrinkles, a powerful antioxidant shown to visibly reduces skin discolorations from environmental exposure, and has a soothing effect on skin.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Dermatology found that not only did bakuchiol work as well as a retinol when it came to addressing signs of aging, but it was also less irritating to skin.

“Despite having no structural resemblance to retinol, Bakuchiol was found to have retinol functionality through retinol-like regulation of gene expression. In 2018, a randomized, double-blind, 12-week clinical study with 44 volunteers demonstrated that Bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photo-aging (wrinkles, hyperpigmentation) but has a better skin tolerance.”

Dr. Joy formulated this serum with other proven organic herbal ingredients and extracts – including superior moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid – to make it nothing less than friggin’ outstanding. Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is a proven multi-tasker for skin that helps repair sun damage, dark spots and the commonly referred to hyperpigmentation called age spots. Studies show niacinamide helps improve skin tone and fade dark spots by blocking the enzyme responsible for producing pigmentation.
