Bakuchiol - an alternative to retinol. Is retinol unsafe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Is it safe to use bakuchiol?The question of whether it is safe to use retinol during pregnancy is not exactly safe or unsafe. Everything you can find online says you shouldn't use it during pregnancy because of the risk of retinol being teratogenic (meaning it can affect fetal growth). Of course, there is not enough evidence to prove that topical use can cause this problem, but it is relatively safe not to use it. Because you'll have other options, your doctor's recommendation to avoid retinol during pregnancy seems like a reasonable precaution.
Anyway, this brings us to the question of bakuchiol, an article published in Allure states, "Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It's completely safe." You'll see something similar on the parenting and mommy (a website) site. But if you ask me, I'd say their statements are overly optimistic, as this ingredient hasn't been tested. There are actually good reasons to avoid bakuchiol, as it hasn't been tested for safety during pregnancy. It might work, but I wouldn't recommend using it until it's been security tested.
Also, bakuchiol is a natural plant extract, which means you don't know the purity of this ingredient a company uses. Also there is no good analytical test that a company actually uses bakuchiol extract. It's also possible that they just bought the brown water solution with retinol added, and the company wouldn't know. As you said, I am skeptical about natural extracts.
Výhody bakuchiolu jsou navíc přehnaně{0}}propagované. Dostupné důkazy nejsou dostatečné na podporu tvrzení, že může nahradit retinol.
Existuje několik malých studií prokazujících určitou rovnocennost, ale tyto nebyly zopakovány a existuje více údajů o účincích retinolu, takže zůstávám skeptický.
So if you're pregnant, stick with ingredients that are proven safe, like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Bakuchiol is probably very safe, but it is better to avoid it as a precaution. I also don't think mommy blogs and related products recommended online are safe, even podcasts. Tell your doctor and avoid using it.
