My Ingredient List

NOT COMPLETE – this page will always be “a work in progress“ since I am constantly testing and trying new things. I do try to ensure that any ingredients being used in retail products make the list. Remember that you can click on words with dotted underlining throughout the site to view more information about that term.

Current labeling laws in the USA allow for the use of either common or “INCI” names. I use common names for most ingredients but I list essential oils by their formal Latin names (unless it is space consideration), and I source ALL my ingredients extremely carefully, with quality in mind first and foremost.
