Recently, Honsea Sunshine’s flagship ingredient Bacuchi® Bakuchiol was honored with two prestigious awards: the CPHI Natural Ingredients Awards 2025 for Technical Innovation and the Ringier Personal Care Technology Innovation Award, highlighting its excellence in technological innovation and safe application, and showcasing its leading position in the field of natural functional ingredients.
Breakthrough Innovation Overcoming Traditional Application Barriers
Bacuchi® Bakuchiol is extracted using supercritical CO₂ technology at low temperatures, enabling efficient extraction of active compounds while preserving their activity. Through an advanced purification process, it effectively removes photosensitive impurities such as psoralen and isopsoralen, avoiding potential phototoxicity and irritation. This makes Bacuchi® gentler, safer, and suitable for a wider range of users and skin types—successfully solving long-standing challenges in the cosmetic application of bakuchiol.
High Purity, High Standards – A Preferred Retinol Alternative
Bacuchi® Bakuchiol offers a purity level exceeding 99%, with strictly controlled pesticide and solvent residues, fully compliant with international regulatory standards. Safety assessments demonstrate significantly lower irritation compared to retinol, with superior skin tolerance. It provides a safer anti-aging alternative for sensitive skin, making it one of the most promising “plant-based retinol” solutions.
Green, Sustainable, and Certified
In line with its commitment to sustainability, Bacuchi® has obtained COSMOS APPROVED, meeting the requirements of natural and organic formulations. It aligns with the global consumer demand for environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
