The active ingredient is the key component in a formulation that produces the intended effect of a product. Active ingredients are present in a wide range of products, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, medicinal remedies, personal care items, and cleaning products. In the realm of agrochemicals, this category includes pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides, which rely on both active and inert (inactive) chemicals. Inert ingredients can either reduce any adverse effects of the active ingredient or facilitate its delivery.
