Pairings that win: bakuchiol + niacinamide (barrier + brightening), bakuchiol + peptides (collagen synergy), bakuchiol + Centella (calming)

Texture: lightweight serum or gel-cream; vacuum pump or amber glass to protect the active

MOQ: most China OEM factories offer 500–1,000 pcs for a custom bakuchiol serum
