"Natural ingredients" are often considered to be "safe and healthy", while "chemically synthesized ingredients" are thought of as "harmful and polluting". However, both natural and non-natural ingredients are actually composed of one or more molecules that are defined by chemical names.
How to Understand "Chemically Synthesized" Ingredients
Ingredients obtained through artificial synthesis are commonly referred to as "chemically synthesized ingredients."
How to Understand "Natural" Ingredients
Natural ingredients refer to substances that exist naturally in nature (without undergoing chemical transformation).
Naturally derived ingredients are those based on natural substances that have been obtained through intentional processing or chemical transformation.
About Ingredient Information on Product Labels
The notion that "natural equals safe and synthetic equals harmful" is a misconception.
Many natural products are inherently toxic, such as poisonous mushrooms and snake venom; conversely, Vitamin C, which is now primarily produced through industrial chemical synthesis, is an essential nutrient for the human body.
From a toxicological perspective, the key factor determining a substance's safety is its dosage. Even natural substances can pose health risks if used improperly or at inappropriate concentrations. For instance, direct skin contact with certain undiluted natural essential oils may cause severe irritation.
All PROYA products undergo rigorous safety assessments to ensure they are safe for human health, with full consideration given to the method of use, application site, frequency of use, and exposure dosage.
