```
data/
├── ingredients/
│   ├── rosehip-oil.json
│   ├── bakuchiol.json
│   └── ...
├── concerns/
│   ├── fine-lines.json
│   ├── hyperpigmentation.json
│   └── ...
├── comparisons/
│   ├── retinol-vs-bakuchiol.json
│   └── ...
└── locales/
    ├── sr/
    ├── en/
    ├── de/
    └── fr/
```

**Pros:**
