The ingredient library
More than a name on a label.
What it is. Where it comes from. Why we use it. What we know about it.
Understand the ingredients
in your formulas.
Origin, the part of the plant, the extraction method, standardisation and concentration all change what actually ends up in a formula.
That is why, in the Tivona library, we try to say more than the name of the ingredient.
How we select ingredientsWhat it is
The identity of the ingredient and the form we use it in.
Where it comes from
Its origin and how it is obtained.
What it does in a formula
The cosmetic role we use it for.
What we know about it
The data available on the ingredient, and its limits.
Ingredient in focus
Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia
Cut at dawn and steam-distilled the same morning. Linalool and linalyl acetate are the two molecules that matter: together they quiet the neurogenic side of inflammation, which is why lavender water settles a flushed cheek faster than a plain humectant.
