Our criteria

We analyze, compare, and
formulate with purpose

Before defining a formula, we review the available information on each ingredient, its form, and its intended use. That analysis guides clear and coherent composition decisions.

Sources we consult

What we review before choosing

The sources we consult help us understand each ingredient and the context in which it has been studied. We review what was investigated, how it was studied, and its limitations before making decisions.

What was studied

We identify the ingredient or preparation, the amount used, and the people included.

What was found

We read the results and assess the quality of the study, not just its headline.

How far it applies

We compare what was studied with the actual composition and prior evidence before drawing conclusions.

From information to formulation

How we make formulation decisions

01

We gather information

We consult technical sources and available studies on each ingredient.

02

We compare what matters

We consider the form, amount, intended use, and place of each ingredient within the composition.

03

We define each composition

We select components that fit each formula’s nutritional focus and remain coherent with one another.

04

We verify before communicating

We review the composition, declared amounts, and presented information for consistency.

Our Philosophy

Kintsugi: the art of moving forward

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing pottery by highlighting its fractures with gold instead of hiding them. Each mark becomes part of the piece’s story and takes on new value. At XENTHOS, this perspective has become our philosophy—one where we acknowledge change, honor consistency, and celebrate the strength to keep moving forward.
