There are so many industry terms that make choosing a product confusing unless you’re a chemist. Let’s get to know some of these terms. 

Clean Beauty: Clean beauty is another non-regulated marketing claim. Generally, it refers to brands and products that lean towards natural ingredients and avoid controversial ingredients like parabens, phthalates, and sulphates. However, the definition varies from company to company.

Chemical Ingredients:  ALL ingredients are chemicals— even water.  The two words are being used interchangeably and here at Results by Nature we would like to change that.  In the cosmetics industry, there is so much green-washing over the use of the words “chemical” and “synthetic,” when the industry is really trying to talk about toxic vs. non-toxic.  

Chiral/Chirality/Chiral Purity/Chirally Correct: When an ingredient contains only the molecules with the most active part of the ingredient to give the most desired results. A process that makes sure the ingredients that you are feeding your skin are the safest and most stable.

Clinical Grade Skincare: This is a marketing term that doesn’t have a standardized meaning. While there is no FDA-regulated definition, Clinical Grade generally refers to products that are targeted to specific conditions and needs such as acne or wrinkles. The concentration of active ingredients is generally greater than what you can find over the counter. Here, at Results by Nature, we take a “Clinical” approach by using highly active ingredients to maximize the positive effects on the skin. 

Highly Active Ingredients: in the cosmetics industry, “highly active” refers to ingredients that are known to make noticeable differences in the skin on the surface and below.  

Non-Toxic Skincare: Non-toxic skincare refers to products that don’t use any ingredients that will contribute to someone’s toxic load. At Results by Nature, we take this claim seriously which is why we take guidance from the Endocrine Society and do not use any ingredients that they deem “endocrine-disrupting chemicals.”

Protein Synthesis: The process by which proteins are formed in biological cells. Proteins carry out all the important functions of a cell, such as transport, structural support, chemical reactions, cell communication, and protection from harmful bacteria and viruses. Every protein molecule is made up of amino acids.

Synthetic Ingredients: These are ingredients that are made in a laboratory, to be copies of natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid.  Often times synthetic ingredients are more stable and can be less irritating to the skin than the natural ingredient.

We are passionate about our formulations and the natural ingredients we source.  We’ve partnered with manufacturers and ingredient suppliers from around the world who meet our quality control standards in their ingredient curation process.
