Bakutrol

Unigen has introduced Bakutrol, a botanical skin care ingredient that offers anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring benefits, according to the company. Bakutrol is derived from the novel plant extract Psolarea corylifolia and studies have shown it visibly improves skin appearance. Bakutrol contains bakuchiol, a compound that inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and the COX/LOX inflammatory pathways. Additionally, Bakutrol reduces scarring or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), the dark spots left behind after the acne lesion has healed. Bakutrol is compatible in formulation with other acne care ingredients, such as salicylic acid, and can be used as an active agent in creams, lotions, gels, masks and other cosmetic products.
