Explanation of Ingredient Names on Packaging
In the ingredient list on the packaging, we have used common names or more easily recognizable terms for the plant-based ingredients to ensure better understanding for consumers. These are names that are typically used in everyday language or in the market, making it easier for the general public to identify the contents.
However, the scientific or botanical names (also known as Latin names or academic names) are used in official databases and scientific research. These scientific names are internationally recognized and used in research, regulatory documents, and in the field of pharmacology for precise identification of ingredients.
The following is a comparison between the packaging ingredient names and their corresponding scientific names:
-
Radix Lithospermi corresponds to LITHOSPERMUM ERYTHRORHIZON ROOT
-
Viola yedoensis corresponds to VIOLA PHILIPPICA WHOLE
-
Dendranthema indicum corresponds to CHRYSANTHEMUM INDICUM FLOWER
-
Rhinacanthus nasutus (L.) Kurz corresponds to Rhinacanthus Nasutus Leaf
-
Fructus Kochiae Scopariae corresponds to BASSIA SCOPARIA FRUIT
-
Mentha haplocalyx Briq. corresponds to MENTHA ARVENSIS LEAF OIL
-
Tea tree essential oil corresponds to TEA TREE OIL
-
Olive oil corresponds to OLIVE OIL
These common names are used for packaging purposes and are intended to ensure the ingredients are easily understood by consumers. However, both the scientific names and common names represent the same ingredients, and both are used interchangeably based on the context.
