Alchemy and the Green Pact; it makes alchemy more challenging in Skyrim, but it is still possible for a Bosmer (Wood Elf) to be an alchemist and stay true to the Green Pact. Vix's Part 2 on the Bosmer explains the Green Pact in some detail if you are unfamiliar or wish to know more. If anyone is interested in a non-green pact specific (i.e. complete list) of ingredients and effects then read "Dragon's Achemy Guide".
What follows is a list of Alchemical effects that stays true to the Bosmer's Green Pact. The first section is a list of potions, the second section is a list of poisons, and the third is a list showing impossible potions (for Green Pact devotees) due to having only one ingredient (only 2 of these, namely: fortify alteration, marksman).
I do realize some of the entries are of a dubious nature, so for this reason, I have color-coded the entries. Black means it comes directly from an animal (I've included daedra and atronachs here). Brown indicates a source from undead (or long dead). Blue indicates an animal product. Orange is a non-living source. And purple indicates a fungus.
