INCI of coconut milk

[Guest guest]

Hello again group.

I am having trouble finding the correct INCI name for coconut milk.

When I look at the The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients at

http://pharmacos.eudra.org/F3/inci/inciaco.htm

where I usally find correct INCI names, I cannot find coconut milk.

The only other place that I have found is at http://www.oshun.ca/inci.html on

Oshuns site.

But it is written like this: Coconut milk: Cocos Nucifera Extract, Water,

Potassium Metabisulfite.

If one was to use coconut milk out of a coconut, then the Potassium

Metabilsulfite would not be in that. ( ? )

I would be very grateful to know the correct INCI name for coconut milk.

Thank-you in advance

Where did you get the Coconut Milk? If the Coconut Milk came from a

food store, there may be an ingredient list on the package.

If the Coconut Milk was made for " cosmetic " purposes, you should

contact the vendor.

I found two sources for Coconut Milk and the ingredient list was

Water (and) Cocos Nucifera (and) Xanthan Gum

In the EU, Cocos Nucifera is defined as " Coconut oil. Extractives and

their physically modified derivatives. It consists primarily of the

glycerides of the fatty acids capric, lauric, myristic, oleic and

palmitic. (Cocos nucifera, Palmae) " .

Hei Pam,

I didn't actually know that, I have always heard that the " water " in a coconut

is coconut milk. And never gave it another thought. I make my own virgin

coconut oil from coconuts and have used the " water " in differant applications,

thinking it is the natural milk. I think there must be something good about it.

I don't like throwing away anything really, I try to make use of most :-)

Thanks for the info !

, after watching this thread the past couple of days, it

occurs to me that no one has questioned your comment about using the

coconut milk " out of a coconut. " Are you referring to the liquid

inside the coconut? That isn't coconut milk, it's coconut water.

Coconut milk is made from the coconut meat: it doesn't occur as a

liquid inside the coconut. Forgive me if you already knew this,

thought I'd mention it " just in case. "
