🧪 Truth in Formulation:
Our Ingredient Glossary & Myth-Busting Manifesto At Radiate Alchemy, we believe skincare should be as intelligent as it is indulgent. Every ingredient we use is chosen not just for its efficacy, but for its integrity—backed by science, sourced transparently, and explained clearly.

🔍 Why We Created This Glossary
Because consumers deserve more than marketing buzzwords. In an era where “clean,” “non-toxic,” and “chemical-free” are tossed around without context, we’re here to clarify—not confuse.
We’ve seen the rise in searches like:
"Is "Chemical-Free’ Skincare Safer"
“Retinol + safe”
“Zinc + toxic”
“Essential oils + pregnancy”
You want to know what’s in your products, why it’s there, and whether it’s truly safe. So we’re pulling back the curtain.
🌿 Our Ingredient Philosophy
Evidence-Based: We rely on peer-reviewed studies, clinical data, and global regulatory standards—not trends.
Function-First: Every ingredient has a purpose. No fillers, no fluff.
Transparency Over Fear: We don’t demonize ingredients. We explain them.
Documentation Available: COAs, MSDS, and sourcing details are available for every hero ingredient.
