Refusal D05 · Documented decision · Authorship review

Magnolia replaced Centella

Centella was the comfortable default. Magnolia bark carried the calmer, more authored East Asian role.

Formulation decision

The refusal

Anvaira does not need to sound like every other calm-skin formula to make a quiet product.

Reason
Comfort language can be built without choosing the same default botanical everyone else reaches for.
Cost
We gave up a more familiar skincare keyword.
What replaced it
Magnolia bark as the more authored East Asian support material.
