Fancy ingredients, worth the hype?
The more I’ve focused on good ole fashioned simple ingredients, the more I am questioning all of the expensive ingredients like daikon extract for hair. Is there really any significant benefits of daikon and other expensive ingredients?

No, in fact, most extracts will provide no benefit to your formula but introduce potential allergens. They are really there for marketing purposes—to tell a story. That is why you will usually find them towards the end of an ingredient list. You can use them at less than 0.1% for claims purposes, or exclude them completely. I doubt you will notice any difference with or without them.

Depends on how irreplaceable they are. If they are replaceable, then the fancy ones are not worth the hype.
