Managing Your Ingredient Library

Your ingredient library is the central place where you create and maintain all the ingredients used across your store. Any ingredient you create here can be assigned to any number of products.

Adding an ingredient

1. Go to the Ingredients page
2. Click Add Ingredient
3. Fill in the ingredient details (see field descriptions below)
4. Click Save

Ingredient fields

Admin Title (required) Used internally to identify the ingredient. Customers never see this — use whatever naming makes sense for you.

Display Title The name shown to customers on your storefront product pages.

Subtitle A short line of text beneath the display title. Useful for a category label or brief descriptor, such as “Moisturising Agent” or “Natural Preservative”.

Description A longer explanation of the ingredient — what it is, where it comes from, what it does. This appears in the full ingredient detail on your storefront.

Image An image representing the ingredient. Uploaded directly to your Shopify CDN. Displayed above the ingredient details on product pages.

Editing an ingredient

1. Go to the Ingredients page
2. Find the ingredient and click Edit
3. Make your changes
4. Click Save

When you save an edit, Kernl automatically updates every product that uses this ingredient. You don’t need to do anything else — the changes will appear on your storefront within a few seconds regardless of how many products are affected.

Deleting an ingredient

If you delete an ingredient, it is automatically removed from all products that were using it. Their storefront ingredient displays will update accordingly.

To delete an ingredient, click Edit on the ingredient, then use the delete option at the bottom of the edit page.

Note: Deletion cannot be undone. If you think you might use the ingredient again, consider leaving it in the library and simply unassigning it from products instead.

Reordering ingredients

Ingredient order in the library is global: the same sequence is used everywhere those ingredients appear on your storefront. Change it any time on the Ingredients page using drag and drop.

How to reorder

1. Go to the Ingredients page
2. Click and hold the drag handle on the left of a row (six dots ⠿)
3. Drag the row up or down, then release

There is no separate save button — the new order saves automatically and updates on the storefront for every product that uses those ingredients.

Tips

• Put the most important or recognisable ingredients first; they tend to stand out most on the product page.
• Per-product ingredient ordering is not available yet but is planned for a future update.
