The Aichabelle Research Index

The numbers behind botanical beauty.

A small, open library of studies and statistics — on what cosmetic regulators actually ban, on the biochemistry of venom-derived actives, on how common hair loss really is, and on how much of modern medicine still begins in a plant. Every figure is sourced. Every chart is free to reproduce.

Why this page exists

A source, not a sales page.

We build cosmetics around rare botanical actives, and to do that honestly we have to read the literature first. These pages are the reading, written up plainly: the regulatory tables, the peptide pharmacology, the epidemiology, the pharmacognosy. We keep them current so that journalists, students, formulators and the simply curious have one clean place to cite.

If you write about beauty, biochemistry, or health, take what you need. The charts carry a Creative Commons licence and a one-line citation. The work is the point.

The library

Four studies, kept current.

Each page is a self-contained reference with charts, a methodology note, full sources, and a citation block.

The reading room. Every active we work with begins as a literature search before it ever becomes a formulation.
