Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Skin benefits

  • Hybrid molecule combining bakuchiol and salicylic acid concepts
  • May offer mild keratolytic and antioxidant effects
  • Lipophilic delivery could improve skin penetration

Known concerns
