INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients)

INCI, or the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, is a standardized system for naming ingredients in skincare and cosmetic products. It assigns unique, universally recognized names to each substance, ensuring clear identification regardless of language or country. This system helps consumers understand what’s in their products, aids regulators in monitoring safety, and assists manufacturers in ensuring consistency and transparency. INCI names are typically listed on product labels, allowing users to research ingredients and make informed choices based on their preferences or sensitivities.
