Many companies list the percentage of the active blend these days to trick customers. I see products with "1% retinol complex" for example, while they use 1% RetiStar so something like 0.05% retinol in the final formula. Even 2, 3 or even 6.5% retinol I have seen.

Hi Belinda, thanks so much for your video information. If I am using Olivem 1000, and its INCI is Cetearyl Olivate (and) Sorbitan Olivate, how could I know their breakdown? I checked their MSDS and there is no where to locate the percentage of breakdown. I asked my supplier and they do not know either. I wrote email to Hallstar and did not get reply. Besides this example, there are many similar items that I could not find the breakdown of this kind of blended ingredients. Thanks in advance for your kind answer.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You would ask for compositional information, and the supplier must provide this - but they won't be exact. They will give you a range that would enable you to ensure your ingredient list is correct though.

Hi Belinda , I'm so grateful for all your efforts of bringing innovative concepts in each video. THANKS My query was that-- if I add aloe powder to water say [0.1 of 200x]= 20% and water to make 100%. Then where should I place aloe ?? should I have to make list indicating water and aloe powder differently OR only mentioning the aloe juice at start of the list will do.??

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

If you are making this at the start - ie transforming water to its reconstituted value from the start - then you can list it at the 20% input as the original fully reconstituted material. Make sure you use the right INCI name for the original material (when reconstituted).

[@Magickacademy]

What if I used a base bath whip? I don't know the amount of each ingredient so how do I list it on my label?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You will need to get the information on the base from your supplier - they should provide you with an INCI ready list.

[@marilyndalwis]

Incredibly helpful video! How would you list out ingredients with multiple components, given as a range rather than a specific percentage? E.g. Kakadu plum extract, which also contains water and propanediol? Or Montanov 202, where percentages of individual ingredients have not been supplied?

Is there a software that makes this easier to do when working with multiple ingredients that are a blend?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

I don't know of a reliable software that does this. We do have a short Certificate in Labels & Claims which teaches you how to write a correct ingredients list including how to calculate the composition of blended materials so you can list them correctly: personalcarescience.com.au/BrandManagement/CertificateinCosmeticLabelsClaims-1979/

[@826andCo]

@@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401 thanks

[@nicolinamaria]

What if several blends come with the same ingredient. For example extracts containing the same preservatives. Should you mention those double on your ingredient list or should you add the amounts together into a total percentage?

[@yenizzacabeza3392]

Hi Belinda, thanks for your videos, they are amazing! I have a question: If I disolve alfalfa powder in agua and glycerine to make an extract and add 2% of this extract in my cosmetic preparation, how should I list this in the ingredients? As 2% or for example: alfalfa powder 0.2%, water 0.9% and glycerine 0.9%? Thanks in advance for your answer.

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

Please purchase consulting time and provide me with full details so I can answer you properly and specifically: personalcarescience.com.au/Advice/cosmeticformulation,brandadvice-797/

[@nicolinamaria]

What if one ingredient is in a blend, but also added seperately? Should I mention this ingredient twice or the total percentage?

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

You need to combine the total input of the ingredient and list it in the correct place based on its total input.

[@nounamassa5586]

Thank you so much for this interesting video I have a question please for soaps can be listed as sodium or potassium salts for example soduim laurate or sodium oleate if we use oils that contain large amount of coconut oil or olive oil

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

The ones you have listed are not the correct INCI designations for the saponified form of coconut oil or olive oil - please check to make sure you are using the correct INCI designations eg sodium cocoate for coconut oil that has been saponified with sodium hydroxide.

How would you label a tea or infusion? For instance, if I infused water or oil with 2% chamomile since the plant parts are discarded?

[@Danniessa]

You mean that if I just put my ingredients list on my website and not on my packaging, it would be sufficient? Since it only needs to be seen at the point of purchase

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

No, that's not correct, if you are selling in a store the ingredient list must be available at the store for a consumer to read before purchasing. Listing your ingredient list on your website is essential if you are selling on that website. The information must be available to the consumer at the point of sale - whether this is in store or on line.

[@Danniessa]

The Institute of Personal Care Science thank you so much!

[@cigdemhashas3376]

Is it a must to declare the inactive ingredients of preservatives? For ex: we use a mixture of benzyl alcohol&Cmi/mi. But the preservative also contains some solubilizers or salts. Do we need to write these ingredients as most of them are confidential? Thx

[@theinstituteofpersonalcare6401]

If you are in the EU or UK, every component of every material must be on the ingredient list. Check with country/region you are in as the definition of ‘incidental’ ingredients does not apply under EU rules, and every component must therefore be declared.
