A fusion of Bakuchiol and Nicotinic Acid for enhanced cellular repair and long-term skin health
Why choose Bakuchiol NAD+ BCR?
While standard bakuchiol has gained recognition as a gentle retinol alternative with proven anti-ageing properties, this advanced product elevates performance by combining bakuchiol with niacin (vitamin B3) in an ester structure specifically designed to boost both immediate visible results and long-term cellular function.
This innovative ester supports cellular energy production, enabling deeper intervention at the level of DNA repair and mitochondrial health - the biological foundations of skin longevity. Formulators can leverage this active in premium anti-ageing skincare or suncare products with reparative positioning, barrier-support moisturisers, and longevity-focused treatments. Its photostability and broad pH tolerance allow for flexible formulation approaches across multiple product formats.
INCI: Glyceryl Linoleate (and) Glyceryl Linolenate (and) Bakuchiyl Nicotinate
Key benefits
- Collagen production and elasticity enhancement: stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis while reducing collagen breakdown, resulting in improved skin firmness and visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Cellular renewal and DNA repair: enhances the cellular machinery responsible for DNA repair and regeneration. This mechanism addresses skin renewal at its biological source, promoting healthier cell turnover and improved skin quality over time.
- Barrier function and homeostasis support: strengthens skin barrier integrity through multiple pathways, resulting in decreased transepidermal water loss and improved moisture retention.
