OUR HERBAL INGREDIENTS
THE HEART OF SHEEN'S BOTANICALS
Every ingredient is chosen with intention,
Every formulation crafted with care,
Every product designed to deliver,
the best of nature and science to your skin.
Ingredients are the core of everything we do.
​They determine the effectiveness of every formulation and are the very reason our brand was founded.
​
Many of our botanical ingredients are selected based on their long-standing use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), supported by modern scientific research. We combine these herbs using the time-honoured principles of herbal pairing—designed to enhance efficacy while minimizing potential side effects.
​​
For centuries, herbal practitioners observed that certain herbs work better together. When paired correctly, they can create synergistic effects, enhancing their benefits. Modern science has since confirmed these observations: when certain plant compounds interact, they can form new compounds that are more potent or more easily absorbed by the body.
​
Right sourcing
High-quality ingredients are essential for effective results. That’s why we take great care in sourcing our herbs.
​
For botanicals to perform at their best, they must be grown in the right environment, harvested at the correct time, and handled carefully to preserve their active compounds. Only fresh, high-quality raw materials that meet our strict standards proceed to the next stage of our manufacturing process.
Right Combination and Strength
Natural ingredients interact closely with living systems, including our skin. While this often brings beneficial results, natural products can occasionally trigger sensitivities such as irritation or allergies.
​
That’s why ingredient selection and concentration are so important.
At Sheen’s Botanicals, we focus on trusted botanical ingredients that have stood the test of time. Inspired by traditional herbal wisdom, we carefully combine plant extracts rather than relying on highly concentrated single compounds.
​
Unlike isolated actives, botanical extracts contain a complex range of phytochemicals in naturally balanced, lower concentrations. When thoughtfully combined, these extracts can work synergistically to deliver effective results while maintaining a gentle safety profile.
Careful Manufacturing
The manufacturing process is just as important as the ingredients themselves.
​
Each herb must be extracted using the right method to preserve its beneficial compounds. This includes carefully selecting the extraction medium, controlling temperature, and applying the correct techniques to efficiently extract active components while minimizing degradation.
​
When available extracts do not meet our standards, we take the extra step of performing our own extractions to ensure quality and potency.
​
​Finally, every formulation is assembled with precision. We carefully control factors such as temperature, pH, and mixing stages to ensure the product remains stable and that the active ingredients are preserved—allowing them to be delivered effectively to where your skin needs them most.
