Science - Cosmetics, Beauty / Ingredient description
Japanese term or phrase: 様似産
The full term is "様似産ヒトリシズカエキス（ヒトリシズカエキス）" (Chloranthus japonicus extract). I've had no luck figuring out 様似産 on my own. Any help would be much appreciated!

Explanation:
様似 is a town in Hokkaido. So 様似産 means that the ingredient, chloranthus japonicus extract, is from Samani.

It seems Hokkaido is one of the regions where the extract is made (refer to the second web reference), so it makes sense they put Samani in the phrase. Hope it helps.
