Shanghai Uyoung High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD and the Shanghai Daily Chemistry Trade Association Jointly Release the Group Standard “Cosmetic Raw Materials – Bakuchiol”
In August 2025, Shanghai Uyoung High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD(UYOUNG), a leading Bakuchiol supplier and cosmetic ingredient manufacturer in China, together with the Shanghai Daily Chemistry Trade Association (SDCTA), officially released and implemented the Group Standard “Cosmetic Raw Materials – Bakuchiol.”
The publication of this standard fills a critical regulatory gap in the domestic Bakuchiol cosmetic raw material sector, establishing unified and science-based technical requirements for pure Bakuchiol. It represents a major step toward the standardized, regulated, and high-quality development of Bakuchiol ingredients for cosmetics in China.
Establishing Unified Standards for High-Purity Bakuchiol Raw Materials
With the rapid expansion of the global skincare and anti-aging market, demand for Bakuchiol raw materials has continued to grow. However, the industry has long faced challenges such as inconsistent purity levels, non-standard analytical methods, and unclear safety specifications—factors that directly affect formulation performance and regulatory compliance.
As a professional Bakuchiol manufacturer specializing in cosmetic-grade raw materials, UYOUNG leveraged its strong R&D capabilities and production expertise to jointly initiate the development of this group standard with SDCTA.
During the drafting process, the working group brought together cosmetic raw material manufacturers, research institutes, and testing laboratories, conducting extensive market research, laboratory verification, and expert evaluations. The standard clearly defines:
-
Technical requirements for cosmetic-grade Bakuchiol
-
Standardized testing and analytical methods
-
Inspection and quality control rules
-
Packaging, labeling, transportation, and storage requirements
Most importantly, the standard establishes strict benchmarks for Bakuchiol purity, impurity control, and safety indicators, providing authoritative guidance for Bakuchiol suppliers, cosmetic brands, and regulatory authorities. It serves as a key reference for ensuring quality consistency, traceability, and safety compliance throughout the cosmetic ingredient supply chain.
Bakuchiol: A High-Performance, Plant-Based Alternative to Retinol
Bakuchiol is a naturally derived active ingredient extracted from Psoralea corylifolia. As a terpenophenolic small-molecule compound, it is widely recognized in the cosmetics industry as a plant-based alternative to retinol.
High-purity Bakuchiol delivers clinically recognized anti-aging performance with superior skin tolerance. Studies show that it can stimulate the expression of Type I, III, and IV collagen genes, promote collagen synthesis, and inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, helping to reduce collagen degradation. These mechanisms make Bakuchiol highly effective in reducing fine lines, improving skin elasticity, and enhancing overall skin firmness.
In addition, Bakuchiol exhibits strong antioxidant activity and gently supports skin renewal, effectively neutralizing free radicals and improving dull or uneven skin tone. Because it is free from furanocoumarins, Bakuchiol does not cause photosensitivity, making it particularly suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Thanks to its natural origin, low irritation profile, and multifunctional cosmetic benefits, Bakuchiol has become a preferred alternative to retinol and is widely used in serums, creams, lotions, and sunscreen formulations by cosmetic brands worldwide.
Advancing the Cosmetic Ingredient Industry Through Standardization
The General Manager of Shanghai Uyoung High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD commented:
“As a professional Bakuchiol supplier and cosmetic ingredient manufacturer, we are committed to promoting industry standardization and supporting product innovation. The release of this group standard represents a scientific and systematic definition of cosmetic-grade Bakuchiol, and a concrete step toward high-quality industry development driven by standards.”
The implementation of this standard will help regulate market practices, encourage companies to shift from marketing-driven claims to data-based quality validation, reduce compliance and formulation costs for downstream cosmetic brands, and significantly enhance consumer confidence in Bakuchiol-based skincare products.
A Trusted Bakuchiol Supplier Supporting Global Cosmetic Brands
Looking ahead, Shanghai Uyoung High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD will continue to focus on Bakuchiol technology innovation, large-scale production, and global application, strictly adhering to the group standard. The company remains dedicated to supplying high-purity, high-stability, and high-safety Bakuchiol raw materials to cosmetic brands worldwide.
At the same time, Shanghai Uyoung High Purity Biotechnology Co., LTD will actively promote the adoption of the standard across the industry, strengthen collaboration with upstream and downstream partners, and contribute to building a transparent, sustainable, and internationally competitive cosmetic raw material ecosystem—enhancing the global influence of Chinese cosmetic ingredient manufacturers.
