Driving Innovation in Natural Skincare Ingredients
Recently, Shanghai UYOUNG High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD (hereinafter referred to as “UYOUNG”) announced that its own-brand Bakuchiol has officially passed the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) new cosmetic ingredient registration. The ingredient has been granted a unique official registration code (Registration No.: 国妆原备字202050132).
This milestone signifies that the safety, compliance, and regulatory validity of Bakuchiol have been fully recognized by China’s national authority. It represents another core cosmetic raw material with independent intellectual property rights, further strengthening innovation within China’s cosmetics industry while delivering safer, more effective natural skincare solutions to the market.
Innovation-Driven Development: Opening a New Chapter for Natural Ingredients
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived active ingredient rooted in traditional botanical sources. In recent years, it has gained global attention in the cosmetics industry for its outstanding anti-aging, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Often referred to as “plant-based retinol,” Bakuchiol offers visible skin benefits while maintaining excellent skin tolerance.
Through continuous R&D investment and technological breakthroughs, UYOUNG has successfully achieved large-scale production of high-purity, high-stability Bakuchiol by leveraging its state-of-the-art extraction processes and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) technology. The resulting product quality and safety standards have reached an internationally advanced level, positioning Bakuchiol as a premium natural cosmetic ingredient.
Compliance First: Empowering High-Quality Industry Growth
Under the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics and related regulatory frameworks, approval of new cosmetic ingredients requires stringent safety assessments, efficacy validation, and comprehensive compliance reviews. The successful registration of UYOUNG Bakuchiol demonstrates the company’s strong capabilities in ingredient research, quality control, and regulatory submission.
The registered ingredient information has now been officially included in the NMPA Cosmetic Ingredient Registry. When downstream cosmetic manufacturers use this Bakuchiol for product registration, they can directly reference the official registration code, enabling efficient compliance, simplified filing procedures, and faster market entry.
Technology-Led Innovation: Strengthening the Competitiveness of Domestic Cosmetic Ingredients
UYOUNG remains committed to the R&D and industrialization of pure natural active ingredients, having established a fully integrated extraction technology system covering extraction equipment, purification processes, and raw material manufacturing.
With its high bioavailability, mild nature, and low irritation profile, the newly registered Bakuchiol is well suited for a wide range of skincare applications, including anti-aging serums, repair lotions, creams, and facial masks. It provides brand owners with an ingredient solution that combines scientific innovation, regulatory assurance, and clear market differentiation.
Looking ahead, UYOUNG will continue to deepen collaborations with research institutions and global cosmetic brands, accelerating the advancement of high-end, green, and sustainable domestic cosmetic raw materials, and supporting the long-term, high-quality development of the cosmetics industry.
