The raw material frankincense for Boswellin Extract does not come from the roots, stems, leaves, or fruits of plants, but rather from the sap exuded from the trunks of plants belonging to the Boswellia genus of the Burseraceae family, with the most common species being the frankincense tree. This plant primarily grows in arid, hot tropical and subtropical regions, such as Somalia and Ethiopia in northeastern Africa, and Oman and Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula. These regions, with their unique climate and soil conditions, produce frankincense of exceptional quality, making them the core production areas for frankincense raw materials worldwide.

Eucommia cortex Extract is derived from the bark of Eucommia ulmoides, a plant belonging to the Eucommiaceae family. Eucommia ulmoides is a rare and endangered plant native to China and is also an ancient tree species left over from the Quaternary glaciation, with a history of tens of millions of years. It is known as a “living fossil” among plants. The bark, leaves, and fruits of the Eucommia tree all contain abundant active components, with the bark being the primary part used in traditional medicine, possessing significant medicinal value.

As consumers' health awareness and environmental protection concepts increase, ‘natural, safe and gentle’ has become the core demand of daily chemical products. With active ingredients from nature, plant extracts can satisfy the basic functions of cleansing, moisturising and repairing, while reducing the risk of irritation caused by synthetic chemical ingredients, which fits the contemporary pursuit of ‘green skin care’ and ‘natural care’. At the same time, the diversity of plant extracts (such as polyphenols, flavonoids, essential oils and other ingredients contained in different plants) provides rich materials for product function innovation, promoting the transformation of the daily chemical industry from ‘chemical synthesis-led’ to ‘natural ingredients-enabled’, and thus becoming a key force leading the trend. Therefore, it has become the key force to lead the trend.

Licorice Extract is typically derived from the leguminous plant Glycyrrhiza glabra or Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Different varieties exhibit significant variations in the content of active components such as glycyrrhizic acid. Wild licorice, which grows slowly and requires 4–5 years to mature, accumulates richer concentrations of active components. Cultivated licorice can enhance component content through optimized soil and climatic conditions.

Maca Extract is derived from the root of the Maca plant, which belongs to the Brassicaceae family. In an extreme climate with daily temperature fluctuations often exceeding 30°C, intense ultraviolet radiation, and nutrient-poor soil rich in minerals, Maca has undergone thousands of years of natural selection, accumulating abundant nutrients and bioactive compounds, earning it the reputation of “Peruvian Ginseng.” Local indigenous peoples have a long history of cultivating and consuming Maca, viewing it as an important food for enhancing physical strength and improving overall health.

Rosemary is an evergreen shrub belonging to the genus Rosmarinus in the Lamiaceae family, native to the Mediterranean coastal regions. It has strong adaptability, thrives in warm climates, is drought-tolerant but sensitive to waterlogging, and is best suited for well-drained, sunny locations. In its native habitat, rosemary often grows on slopes and in rock crevices. Its leaves are small and needle-like, covered with a waxy layer that effectively reduces water evaporation, which is a key factor in its drought tolerance.

Garlic Extract comes from the bulb of garlic in the lily family. Garlic is highly adaptable and widely planted in temperate and subtropical regions around the world, especially in China, India, Egypt and other places with a long history of cultivation. It prefers sunny, well-drained fertile soil, cold and drought-resistant, short growth cycle, easy to cultivate. Garlic accumulates abundant sulphur compounds and other active ingredients during the growth process, and these ingredients are the key to its unique efficacy.

Bilberry is a perennial shrub berry belonging to the Ericaceae family, primarily growing in coniferous forests or tundra regions of high-latitude cold areas such as Northern Europe and North America. It also has a small wild population in the pristine forests of Northeast China. It belongs to the same genus as blueberries but is a different species. Its fruit is smaller in size, with a deep purple to blue-black skin covered in a natural waxy powder. Compared to blueberries, wild bilberries have a longer growth cycle and require hibernation in temperatures as low as -20°C, resulting in more concentrated nutrients in the fruit. This is a key reason for the powder's potent effects.

Grapes are a kind of vine plant widely planted in temperate to subtropical regions, which can be found everywhere in the vineyards of Xinjiang, Shandong, Hebei of China, as well as France, Italy and other countries. Its growing environment is unique -- it loves sufficient sunlight, suitable for growth on slopes or plains with good drainage and fertile soil, relying on the root system to absorb water and nutrients in the soil, and accumulating nutrients through photosynthesis with the help of sunlight. 

Schisandra is a woody vine that grows mainly in temperate to cold temperate regions, and is common in the mountain forests of northeast and north China, as well as in North Korea and the Russian Far East. Its growing environment has distinctive characteristics -- preferring a moist and cool climate, mostly growing in open forests, ravines or bushes, relying on the absorption of nutrients in the soil and the forest's scattered light growth. China's history of edible and medicinal use of Schisandra has been more than a thousand years, traditionally believed to be able to nourish the body, harmonize the internal organs, is a valuable medicinal and food ingredients given by nature.
