Our Ingredients

The selection of our Australian grown, plant-based, low tox and health-friendly ingredients combines the expertise of pharmacist formulation with a holistic approach to health. We’re all about transparency and education. So, all our ingredients are listed on our products and you can find info about each and every one of them here.

Below, you will see some “chemical”-like names in the ingredient list. That’s simply because every ingredient on Earth, no matter if it’s plant-based or not, has a chemical and/or Latin based name too – and that’s nothing to shy away from. We like to use both names so you can recognise these ingredients wherever you see them.
