Ingredient Dictionary

Every one of the 1,484 cosmetic ingredients we supply, from India, Korea, Japan and China as well as the global chemistry, set out as a reference rather than a catalogue. Each entry gives the INCI name, the CAS number where one is assigned, solubility, a typical use level, the pH range, the phase to add it in, what it does, what it is used in, how to store it, and the regulatory position — then links to the material itself.

A reference, not an approval. Everything listed is sold as a cosmetic raw material for professional formulation. Use levels and pH ranges are typical starting points. A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use — confirm permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market you sell into. In India cosmetics fall under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and the Cosmetics Rules 2020 administered by CDSCO, with BIS standards including IS 4707; the EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD&C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks. Every finished product needs its own safety assessment.
