Formulation guides also mention resources like the PCPC's wINCI database and SpecialChem, and supplier safety data sheets that show details an INCI list alone may not reveal.
INCI stands for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, a system of standard ingredient names that the Personal Care Products Council, then called the CTFA, started in the 1970s. In the EU and US, ingredients are listed from the largest percentage downward, and those under one percent may appear in any order.
CosIng is the European Commission's free cosmetic ingredient database, which shows ingredients that are banned or restricted in the EU. This posting names the FDA and the EU Cosmetics Regulation, among others. Analysts check that each ingredient is permitted, used within set limits, and labeled correctly for every market where a product is sold.
The posting outlines future opportunities as Senior Cosmetic Scientist, Ingredient Innovation Manager, Product Development Specialist, or Regulatory Affairs Expert. Building skill in regulatory review, data reporting, and trend forecasting in this role supports a move into any of those directions.
