Botanical Explorer

The Botanical Explorer is a dedicated search tool for plant-derived ingredients. Type any plant name, INCI designation, or common name, and the platform returns a comprehensive profile: botanical classification (family, genus, species, common names in multiple languages), plant part used, geographical origin, and traditional uses.

Each profile includes a detailed phytochemical breakdown: key bioactive compounds identified in the plant, their molecular structures, known biological activities (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, UV-protective), and the skin targets they act on (hydration, barrier repair, anti-aging, brightening, soothing).

The Explorer draws data from LOTUS (222,000 natural product structures), COCONUT (738,000 compound records), GBIF (global biodiversity taxonomy), and curated clinical evidence databases. For formulators working with natural and organic product lines, it is an indispensable tool for ingredient selection, claim substantiation, and regulatory documentation.
