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!

Haha I feel that! I tend to get bored when I’m wearing sheet masks so I like to look up things about them during the wear time. :) But if your skin is resilient and you can just slap any product on without worry- more power to you!!

Artemisia vulgaris well known as mugwort aka wormwood. we all know that lots of skincare ingredient have been viral introduced by K-beauty industry. but bcs there are so many viral ingredients, and they write it in different name, it often confuses me. u know, Im just like "wow is this new interesting ingredients again?"

I knew Artmisia <-> mugwort name but I haven’t seen or heard of wormwood before. Thank you for teaching me something new today :). I agree- certain ingredients got super popular with I guess a more “mainstream” nickname which just makes it confusing when brands mix and match which version of an ingredient name they use. 😂

When in doubt... google it I say 😂😂😂. I think my biggest takeaway is if they provide the scientific name for an ingredient to just google that if I can’t find anything for the original ingredient name provided.
