PRODUCT REVIEW: THE INKEY LIST BAKUCHIOL CREAM – BEST ANTI-AGING FACE CREAM WITH BAKUCHIOL
THE INKEY LIST | BAKUCHIOL CREAM

Two of my Bakuchiol pick-ups are more lotion than serum. That’s the case with the Bakuchiol moisturizer from one of my fave indie brands, The Inkey List — the most versatile of the group.
Sure, this one is more of a moisturizer than the others with a high level of Squalane (ingredient #2) and even something called Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, or Sacha Inchi oil. Sacha inchi nut oil is extracted from the seeds and fruit of the Plukenetia volubilis, or pracaxi — a tree native to the Amazon region.
This oddly sounding oil is purported to fight depression, reduce cholesterol levels, prevent heart disease and aid in diabetes management.
Rich in Omega 3, I imagine it functions like so many non-fragrant plant oils — oils like Argan, Marula, Jojoba and Almond — nourishing the skin with perhaps some antioxidant benefits tossed in for good measure.
The Bakuchiol level in Inkey’s vegan Bakuchiol Cream formula is at 1% — the industry standard. It’s light, silky and quite comfortable on the skin. Though not considered 100% clean like the Herbivore serum, it is free of sulfates SLS and SLES, parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, and triclocarban — and contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances.
While it’s super comfortable on the skin, it’s also comfortable on the wallet at just $9.99 for 1 oz. | 30 mL. Inkey’s option is a great place to start if you’re a Bakuchiol novice!
