Ingredient Index

At Roughneck, we're all about science and real, proven results. We dive in deep to research lipid profiles, triglyceride content, and the bioavailability of the fatty acids in our products, among other things. As a company run by certified Master Herbalists, we pride ourselves on using sustainable, all-natural ingredients to bring you benefits you can feel for yourself.

Our formulations are designed with both function and purpose in mind. Every ingredient is carefully selected not only for its performance but also for its harmony with the rest of the recipe. Whether it’s soothing your skin, strengthening your hair, or delivering a boost of hydration, our products are packed with elements that make a real difference.

Here's a breakdown of every ingredient we use and just a *bit* of why we use it. There's much more to the science, but we wanted to keep it easy to understand. We welcome questions, comments, and feedback via our CONTACT US form! We love scientific discussion.
