Meet Sytenol® A Bakuchiol Extract:
The Plant-Based Powerhouse Behind Our New Bio-Retinol Serum
At Seashine Labs, we're committed to skincare that blends science, nature and real-world results. We're excited to introduce our latest innovation: Bio-Retinol Serum, powered by a standout ingredient that differentiates itself from other retinol alternatives — Sytenol® A Bakuchiol.
If you’ve been searching for a gentler, yet effective alternative to traditional retinol, Bakuchiol Extract may just become your new skincare hero.
What is Bakuchiol Extract?
Bakuchiol (pronounced buh-KOO-chee-all) is a plant-derived compound extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant. Unlike retinol — which is known for causing sensitivity, flaking, or redness — Bakuchiol offers similar results with far less irritation. It’s clinically proven to smooth fine lines, reduce breakouts, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
At Seashine Labs, we use Sytenol® A — a purified, standardized form of Bakuchiol extract known for its stability and superior performance. This isn’t your average botanical. Sytenol® A has been shown in peer-reviewed studies to match retinol in effectiveness, without the downsides.
Not All Bakuchiol is Created Equal
Sytenol® A is a highly purified, clinically studied form of Bakuchiol that offers significant advantages over more commonly used Bakuchiol or babchi oil. Unlike standard Bakuchiol oil, which can vary in quality, purity, and effectiveness, Sytenol® A contains over 99% pure Bakuchiol and is backed by robust clinical research demonstrating its ability to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation with efficacy comparable to retinol—without the irritation often associated with retinoids. Its exceptional stability, non-irritating profile, and consistency make it ideal for sensitive skin and daytime use, unlike many unrefined Bakuchiol oils that may include residual plant compounds and lack standardized potency. These benefits make Sytenol® A the trusted choice for formulators and consumers seeking a reliable, gentle, and science-backed alternative to retinol.
Why Bakuchiol — and Why Now?
There are many reasons to choose Bakuchiol Extract — especially when compared to synthetic retinoids. You might opt for our Bio-Retinol Serum with Sytenol® A Bakuchiol if:
