Babchi Extract (Psoralea corylifolia) — Clinical Series™

Premium Botanical Extract | 100% Natural | No Fillers, Additives or Preservatives

Our Clinical Series Babchi Extract is derived from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, a revered plant in both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Known as ‘Bakuchi’ in Sanskrit and ‘Bu Gu Zhi’ in TCM, Babchi has been used for centuries for its exceptional skin-supportive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Each batch is carefully processed to preserve its full spectrum of bioactive compounds, including bakuchiol, psoralen, isopsoralen, and corylifolin.*

✅ Key Benefits

  • Skin Health & Pigmentation Support* — Babchi is one of the most well-studied botanicals for skin pigmentation disorders. Its active compounds, particularly psoralen, have been traditionally used to support repigmentation in vitiligo and to soothe psoriasis and eczema-related skin symptoms.
  • Potent Antioxidant Activity* — Rich in bakuchiol and flavonoids that help neutralise free radicals, protect skin cells from oxidative damage, and support healthy ageing.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Properties* — Bioactive compounds in Psoralea corylifolia have demonstrated significant anti-inflammatory activity, helping to reduce inflammatory markers relevant to skin and joint conditions.
  • Antimicrobial & Antifungal Activity* — Studies confirm Babchi extract exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal properties, particularly relevant for skin health and infection management.
  • Bone & Joint Health Support* — Traditionally used in Ayurveda to support bone density and joint health, with modern research supporting its role in osteoblast stimulation.
  • Immunomodulatory Effects* — May help regulate immune response, supporting the body’s natural defences, particularly relevant in autoimmune skin conditions.

🔬 Clinical & Research Evidence

  • Vitiligo & Skin Repigmentation: Psoralen and isopsoralen derived from Psoralea corylifolia are the basis for PUVA (Psoralen + UVA) therapy, a clinically established treatment for vitiligo. Research published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology and Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology supports their role in stimulating melanocyte activity and promoting skin repigmentation.
  • Bakuchiol as a Natural Retinol Alternative: A landmark randomised controlled trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology (Dhaliwal et al., 2019) found that bakuchiol (a key compound in Babchi) was equivalent to retinol in significantly improving photoageing, with significantly less skin irritation — establishing it as a clinically validated natural skincare active.
  • Anti-inflammatory Activity: Research published in Phytomedicine (2012) demonstrated that corylifolin and bakuchiol significantly inhibited NF-κB signalling, a key inflammatory pathway, supporting its traditional use for inflammatory skin and joint conditions.
  • Antimicrobial Properties: Studies in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology confirm potent activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and other common skin pathogens.
  • Bone Health: Research in Phytotherapy Research (2014) demonstrated that Psoralea corylifolia extract stimulated osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, supporting its Ayurvedic use for bone strengthening and osteoporosis prevention.
  • Antioxidant Capacity: Multiple studies confirm high DPPH radical scavenging activity in Babchi seed extract, attributed to its rich flavonoid and bakuchiol content (Food Chemistry, 2011).
