58 cosmetic ingredients from NADH Topical to Nylon-12 Powder. Every entry carries the INCI name, CAS number where one is assigned, solubility, typical use level, pH range, the phase to add it in, and the regulatory position — then links straight to the material.
Global — Biotech / metabolite / plant extracellular vesicle
SUPPLY FORM
Powder / stabilized dispersion
SOLUBILITY
Water Dispersible — Water-dispersible rather than truly soluble. Sprinkle into vigorously stirred water or pre-wet in glycerin to avoid lumping.
TYPICAL USE LEVEL
No single published figure applies to every grade of this material. As a working rule, start water-phase actives at 0.5–2%, oil-phase actives at 1–5%, standardised or potent isolates at 0.05–0.5%, and supplier-diluted solutions at the percentage the technical data sheet specifies. Always confirm the exact level against the supplier TDS, your stability and compatibility testing, and the safety assessment for your finished product.

Water Dispersible — Water-dispersible rather than truly soluble. Sprinkle into vigorously stirred water or pre-wet in glycerin to avoid lumping.
TYPICAL USE LEVEL
No single published figure applies to every grade of this material. As a working rule, start water-phase actives at 0.5–2%, oil-phase actives at 1–5%, standardised or potent isolates at 0.05–0.5%, and supplier-diluted solutions at the percentage the technical data sheet specifies. Always confirm the exact level against the supplier TDS, your stability and compatibility testing, and the safety assessment for your finished product.

How to read these entries. Use levels and pH ranges are typical formulation starting points for a cosmetic raw material, not approvals. 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, and give every finished product its own safety assessment. Entries marked with a regulatory flag carry a binding limit somewhere — the product page states which framework and what the limit is.
