Bakuchiol Serum Recipe: Reduce Pigmentation

Discover the wonders of Bakuchiol Oil.


Bakuchiol Oil is derived from the Psoralea Coryfolia plant commonly found in India. It is known for its potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Store-bought serums containing Bakuchiol can be quite pricey, so here is an easy recipe for you to follow from home!

1/2 tsp Argan Oil

3 Drops Bakuchiol Oil

1/2 tsp Jojoba Oil

3 Drops Rosemary Extract

6 Drops Lavender Oil

3 Drops Ylang Ylang Oil

Avocado Oil

Instructions for Mixing

  1. Add the jojoba oil, argan oil, bakuchiol oil, extracts and essential oils to a 30ml glass bottle.
  2. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with avocado oil. Be sure to leave room for the dropper bottle top. You'll end up using about 2 tablespoons of avocado oil.
