    Explanation

    The Japanese noun '成分 (せいぶん)' refers to the elements or parts that make up a whole. It is commonly used in contexts such as food, chemistry, or materials to describe the ingredients or components of something. For example: This shampoo contains natural ingredients「このシャンプーは天然成分を含む」(このシャンプーはてんねんせいぶんをふくむ). The components of this machine are very precise「この機械の成分は非常に精密だ」(このきかいのせいぶんはひじょうにせいみつだ). Note that while 'ingredient' is often used for food or cosmetics, 'component' is more general and can apply to machinery, systems, or abstract concepts.
