Ingredients that have different names that you’d never expect!
This past weekend I was trying out a sheetmask that was new to me (pinned to my post!) As I was wearing the mask, I started looking into what ingredients provided the vitamins within the mask, and which vitamins those were.
I came across the ingredient Vitamin Tree Water in the description of the mask, which I had never heard of before. After a few minutes of trying to google the benefits of vitamin tree water, it seemed fruitless. Imagine my surprise when I took the scientific name for the ingredient (Hippophae rhamnoides) and searched that instead: I found out it is also known as the sea-buckthorn! It turns out the sea-buckthorn is nicknamed the vitmain tree due to it containing high amounts of vitamin C. So cool!
Has anyone had a similar experience with skincare ingredients? I’d love to know more ingredients that might have uncommon nicknames!
