Bakuchiol may increase skin's sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn or other UV-related damage. Sunscreen use is recommended.
Photosensitivity, as a potential side effect of Bakuchiol use, involves an increased susceptibility of the skin to damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources. This heightened sensitivity can manifest as sunburn, skin redness, blistering, rash, itching, and an increased risk of premature skin aging and skin cancer. The severity of photosensitivity can vary depending on individual skin type, the amount of Bakuchiol used, the duration of sun exposure, and the intensity of UV radiation.
