INCI NAMES & PRODUCT LABELING
The correct INCI name for a botanical extract needs to include the
solvent. For example the INCI names of the ingredients that make up
“Chamomile Extract” in a water soluble system can be as follows:
example
Trade Name: Chamomile Extract
INCI Name: Water (and) Glycerin (and) Chamomilla Recutita
(Matricaria) Extract
Incidental, and thus not required to be on the product’s label, the

preservative system is also disclosed to the customer, for example:
Potassium Benzoate
Potassium Sorbate

Sustainability – To give equal weight in your decisions to the

future as well as the present. The global sustainability movement is
growing rapidly. In the U.S. the movement is gaining strength,
especially at the community level, focused on “Environmental
Justice.” Likewise, corporations are beginning to understand they
have a long-term responsibility for “product stewardship”. Elements of
the sustainability movement are:
The Green Movement

Organic Agriculture
Fair Trade Agriculture
Wildcrafting
Wildcrafted Botanicals Support Sustainability
Plants are gathered from their natural, wild habitats, often from
pristine areas.
Care is taken to only remove a few plants, flowers, or branches,
so plenty remains to continue the supply.
Harvesters must designate the area they are harvesting, and
provide a three-year history of the area that shows no
prohibited substances have been applied there.
A harvesting plan must demonstrate the harvest will sustain the
wild crop.

organic agriculture:

MARINE BOTANICAL EXTRACTS
Thalassotherapy is the ancient art which employs sea water and sea plants for
therapeutic purposes. Sea water therapy has been used in Europe as a natural remedy
to treat not only digestive, circulatory and arthritic conditions, but also to improve skin
complexion. Marine botanicals, primarily from some of the thousands of species of
seaweed, contain the same minerals and trace elements as sea water, but in higher
concentrations, and with added vitamins, many of which are anti oxidants.

STANDARDIZED GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
INCI Name: Vitis Vinefera (Grape) Seed Extract
Part Used: Seeds
Chemistry: 95% Proanthocyanidins - phenolic compounds

in the form of polymers or oligomers, built of
flavan-3-ol units, such as catechin, epicatechin,

Chemistry:
Green Tea contains six classes of flavonoids, the most
important being the flavonols. These flavonols are the
most powerful natural antioxidants identified to date,
superior to vitamins C and E and beta carotene. The
most abundant and effective flavonols are:
EGCG (epigallocatechin-3- gallate) Twenty times more
potent than vitamin C
ECG (epicatechin-3-gallate)
EGC (epigallocatechin)
EG (epicatechin)
Green Tea
Powerful anti-oxidant; scavenges free radicals
Protects against epidermal edema; (3), Can reduce
swelling/inflammation when applied topically.
GTP constituents have been proven to reduce sun
damage and photo-aging caused by UVA and
UVB radiation exposure with topical use; (4)
Inhibits tumor initiation and growth, including skin
tumors when applied topically; (1,2)
GTP constituents when combined with topical
formulations that contain traditional sunscreens
may have additive or synergistic photoprotective
effects when compared to either of these agents
alone.

Cranberry's medicinal properties have been recognized for centuries. Native Americans used raw
cranberries as a wound dressing and early settlers from England learned to use the berry for a
number of ailments including scurvy. Cranberry seed oil has stable antioxidant phenols and as one of
the most unsaturated botanical oils available, is a superior emollient and conditioner for the skin. It
has a unique natural balance of omega 3, 6 & 9 not found in any other oil, which aids in the
absorption and utilization of essential fatty acids in the skin and is said to moisturize the skin like no
other oil. The oil is also rich in tocotrienols (vitamin E). Cranberry may help inhibit the action of the
enzyme collagenase, which breaks down collagen and, because cranberries are mildly acidic, they
offer gentle exfoliation when used topically helping the skin to remain younger and more beautiful.
