Ingredi is rooted in Yunnan, a land of remarkable biodiversity and vibrant ethnic traditions, often celebrated as the “Kingdom of Plants.” Inspired by the richness of nature and culture, we focus on discovering and developing innovative, high-performance, and sustainable plant-based ingredients from native species across the Pan-Himalayan region. We bring nature’s wisdom into personal care—offering not just effective actives, but also thoughtful, holistic solutions that connect people, plants, and the planet.
Exclusively selected native species of rice, grown in a world heritage site. This rice gets plenty of sunlight, is nourished by clean mountain spring water, and takes over 200 days and nights to build up nutrients and active components. All farming and harvesting is done artificially using traditional methods, free of chemical fertilizers.
Utilizing a special fermentation process with two types of beneficial microbes, along with lyophilization technology, Hani Rdme™ becomes rich in polyphenols, amino acids and small molecule sugars. These give this ingredient strong antioxidant, moisturizing, and firming benefits for skin.
Neona™ is sourced from highland regions. The intense UV exposure and high altitude stimulate the flower to produce higher levels of active compounds that protect against UV damage. It helps effectively reduce redness, sunburn, and signs of photoaging caused by UVB radiation.
Camellia reticulata, is a unique Camellia native to Yunnan, China. Its seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and differs from common camellia seed oil. It contains up to 78% oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid) and 6% linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated fatty acid), giving it greater stability.
This oil can be used in both skincare and haircare products. It provides moisturizing and repairing benefits for the skin and helps protect the hair cuticle from environmental and mechanical damage.
