European Commission publishes a new glossary

2022-05-12 Reference source : European Union

Ingredient transparency / disclosure Labelling Product certification


The European Commission updates the glossary of ingredient names commonly used in cosmetics production. This was done to correct the names of ingredients that were written incorrectly while some were updated to comply with the recent changes made in the Personal Care Product Council’s (PCPC’s) International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (Inci) list. 

To this effect, companies have to ensure that the chemicals listed on their cosmetic products’ labels comply with the new list. The deadline to do this is April 29, 2023. This is a part of the EU’s vision and strategy for sustainability, which has started by changing certain regulations like this.

 You can access the glossary of the common ingredients’ names here.
