How to read it

How do you read an INCI list?

INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the international naming system used to identify each ingredient on cosmetic packaging. It is mandatory in the European Union.

  1. 01In descending order

    Ingredients are listed from the highest to the lowest concentration at the time they are added.

  2. 02Below 1%, any order

    Ingredients present at less than 1% may be listed in any order, after the others.

  3. 03Latin names for plants

    Plants go by their botanical name: argan oil becomes ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL.

  4. 04Fragrance and allergens

    Fragrance appears under the word PARFUM; above a set threshold, certain allergens must be named individually.

Frequently asked questions about cosmetic ingredients

Another question?Our product specialist will answer you on WhatsApp.Message us on WhatsApp

What is an ingredient's INCI name?

The INCI name (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the standardized name that identifies an ingredient on a cosmetic label. It is the same in every country that uses it: argan oil is written ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL, hyaluronic acid SODIUM HYALURONATE.

How is the ingredient list on a cosmetic product ordered?

Ingredients are listed in descending order of concentration at the time they are added. Those present at less than 1% may be listed in any order, after the others. Fragrance appears under the word PARFUM, and certain allergens are named individually.

Which Moroccan ingredients do you use?

Among others, we use argan oil, prickly pear seed oil, ghassoul, Damask rose water, orange blossom water, nila, aker fassi, Atlas cedar and jujube leaf powder, ingredients rooted in the Moroccan beauty tradition.

Can I supply my own ingredient for my formula?

Yes, after a case-by-case review by our R&D team: origin, technical data sheet, safety data sheet, stability and preservation tests. We only include it if the quality and safety of the finished product are guaranteed. See our formulation lab.

Does this glossary list all your ingredients?

No. It presents a selection of the ingredients most used in our formulas. Our raw materials catalog is broader: ask our formulators whether a specific ingredient can go into your range.
