Define and document the species, plant part, extraction solvent, drug-to-extract ratio, carrier and preservative system, standardised marker content where relevant, and the pesticide, heavy-metal and microbiological profile.

A published INCI name does not by itself authorise use: the buyer is responsible for confirming permitted status, maximum concentration, restrictions by product type, labelling and claim rules in every market the finished product is sold in. 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 Part 2) listing restricted substances. The EU applies Regulation (EC) No 1223\/2009 and its Annexes; the United States applies the FD\u0026amp;C Act as amended by MoCRA; Korea, Japan and China operate their own positive lists and functional-cosmetic frameworks.
