natural product
Nature-made material
Natural product typically refers to a substance derived from living organisms—plants, animals, fungi, or bacteria—rather than synthesized in a laboratory: Many pharmaceuticals began as natural products.
In chemistry and pharmacology, the term specifically means compounds produced by biological processes, often with complex structures difficult to create artificially.
In marketing, "natural product" is loosely applied to foods, cosmetics, and supplements claiming minimal processing or no artificial ingredients, though the term lacks strict regulation: The label said natural product, but the ingredient list told a different story.
