Apothecary Keeper: INCI Compatability

[Guest guest]

INCI: International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients

INCI has been adopted by most of the world over, and is actually being

enforced for ingredients lists in Canada and the UK; I am sure there

are other countries as well. Many countries require that when

registering a cosmetic product the formula list must be INCI

compatible. Japan, Korea, UK, Canada, and Brazil are examples of these

countries.

INCI also uses CAS numbers to identify ingredients, although not all

INCI ingredients have CAS numbers. CAS numbers are used on formulation

sheets for registering products with government agencies like the FDA

in the US.

How many on this list use INCI names on their ingredients lists?

How many have a need to create INCI compatible formulation sheets for

registering products either in their own country or other countries

for export?

Should these fields/features be included in Apothecary Keeper 2.0 so

that INCI compatible formulation sheets and ingredient lists can be

automatically generated?

Thank you for your input so far, and your continued support!

Be well,
