Bakuchiol is a phenolic compound. Therefore, presence of iron or copper ions must be avoided to eliminate coloration due to the interaction with these metal ions. Addition of a small amount of chelating agent (0.1% disodium EDTA or Sodium Phytate or others) resolves this problem. The finished product, if it is not anhydrous, must be acidic, preferably having pH below 6.5. Use of penetration enhancers like DMI can help to boost efficacy. We recommend that finished product be stored in opaque and airless packaging to maintain product integrity and stability over time.
