How to Read a Wellness Formula: A Simple Guide to Ingredients

When you pick up a wellness product, the ingredient list can sometimes feel like a completely different language.

Names, numbers, botanical ingredients, vitamins and minerals can make it difficult to know what actually matters.

A good place to start is by looking beyond the number of ingredients and asking what role each ingredient has within the formula.

1. Look at the purpose

Start by understanding why an ingredient is included. A thoughtfully considered formula should have a clear reason for bringing its ingredients together.

2. Look at the amount

The presence of an ingredient doesn't tell you everything. The quantity provided is also important when understanding a formula.

3. Understand the ingredient form

Some ingredients can exist in different forms. When comparing products, look beyond the ingredient name and understand which form is actually being used.

4. Consider the formula as a whole

Ingredients don't exist in isolation. A wellness formula should be considered as a complete composition rather than simply as a long list of individual ingredients.

5. Look for transparency

Clear labelling and accessible product information can help you make more informed choices about the products you bring into your routine.
