Tangerine peel extract with antioxidant compounds; naturally fragrant.
Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Extract is derived from the fruit and peel of the tangerine (mandarin orange, Citrus tangerina). It is notable for its polymethoxylated flavones — nobiletin and tangeretin — which are potent antioxidants with additional anti-inflammatory activity. The extract also provides hesperidin (a citrus bioflavonoid), carotenoids, and vitamin C precursors. Used as the headline active in Korean 'Vita C' skincare formulas (notably Goodal's Green Tangerine line) for antioxidant protection and skin brightening.
An essential oil cold-pressed from tangerine peel, used primarily as a natural fragrance ingredient with a sweet, fresh citrus scent.
A flavonoid- and vitamin-C-rich mandarin peel extract that brightens skin and provides antioxidant support.
Fucoidan-rich extract from Cladosiphon okamuranus, an Okinawan brown algae (mozuku). Fucoidan binds to water molecules to boost skin hydration and has documented anti-inflammatory activity, making it effective for sensitive or dehydrated skin.
An imidazole-class antifungal preservative used in cosmetics. Inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis. Particularly useful for preserving vitamin A (retinal/retinol) products against mold.

Cnidium Officinale Root Water is a hydrosol or aqueous distillate from the roots of Cnidium officinale (Japanese lovage, known as Senkyu in Japan and Chuan Xiong / 川芎 in TCM). The root contains ligustilide, butylidenephthalide, ferulic acid, and other bioactives with anti-inflammatory and circulatory-stimulating properties. Used as a functional botanical water in premium Korean formulas (notably Sulwhasoo) for its skin-conditioning and calming character.
A diethanolamide surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids. Used as a foam booster and viscosity builder in cleansers. The EU restricts nitrosamine levels in products containing cocamide DEA.
