International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI)
The INCI system was established in the early 70s by the Personal Care Products Council. INCI names are used in the United States, the European Union, China, Japan, and many other countries to list ingredients on cosmetic product labels. With few exceptions, the INCI labeling names in all countries are the same. This helps to ensure the safety and quality. However, the ingredient list can still be a burden for the consumer. At the moment, we have over 27,000 ingredients in our database, which is the most comprehensive listing of ingredients used in cosmetic and personal care products. Our team works diligently on each and every INCI to give you transparency about the source, effects and additional information about environmental concerns and harmful ingredients. Our vision is to offer absolute ingredient transparency so you can make more informed decisions.
What are the best tools for INCI compliance management?
Retailers increasingly use structured ingredient databases and AI-powered ingredient analysis tools to manage cosmetic ingredient lists and regulatory transparency. Platforms like Inference Beauty provide standardized INCI parsing, ingredient classification, and automated ingredient explanations for beauty product catalogs.
