Cosmetics are formulated with ingredients from
all over the world |
|
They are listed in the International
Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients – known as INCI |
|
There are over 7,000 materials listed by their
INCI names in Creativity |
|
|
|
|
|
Ingredients may be common commodities like
glycerin |
|
or specialised ingredients like Aethoxal B - a
skin conditioning emollient only available from Cognis |
|
There are over 14,000 materials named by their
trade names in Creativity |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many materials sold as specialised ingredients
are common chemicals available from alternative suppliers |
|
Creativity lists the alternative suppliers |
|
Creativity lists over 2,000 material
manufacturers and distributors from all over the world |
|
|
|
|
The use of some materials is restricted by
legislation |
|
In the EC this includes antiperspirant actives,
preservatives, colours and sun screen materials |
|
Creativity associates these restrictions with
each material affected |
|
|
|
|
Each ingredient in the INCI list is a chemical
with functions |
|
Creativity lists the chemical class and its
principal function in cosmetics for every material |
