Product Description:
Bakuchi Oil, also known as Babchi Oil, is a cold pressed carrier oil extracted from the seeds of the Psoralea corylifolia plant, an Ayurvedic plant with a long history of traditional use in India. The oil is brown to dark brown in colour with a characteristic nutty, earthy scent and a medium consistency. Bakuchi seeds are well known in the Ayurvedic and natural cosmetic industry as the source of bakuchiol, a naturally occurring compound that has become widely recognised in modern skin care formulation. At Maduras Herbals, we supply Bakuchi Oil as a raw material for cosmetic manufacturers, DIY formulators, hair care brands, and Ayurvedic product developers looking for an authentic, traceable carrier oil from India.
