Recently I discovered the importance of the CEI in the selection of cosmetics from makeup to the cream (it is really important to know a bit more for everything, even food):
The INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the list of cosmetic ingredients expressed in a nomenclature standard. Since 1997 it is mandatory that all cosmetic marketed on the packaging its INCI, or the list of ingredients it contains. This list is in descending order. In the first place indicates the ingredients contained in the highest percentage, followed by others, up to that contained in the lowest percentage. Below 1% the ingredients may be listed in any order. The ingredients of vegetable origin which have not undergone chemical processes are expressed by their Latin botanical name, followed by the use of them in English. For example: "prunus dulcis oil" means "sweet almond oil." The substances, however, have undergone a chemical intervention have an English name. For example: "sodium laureth sulfate" stands for "sodium lauriletossisolfato. The colors are always listed after all, with the initials IC, which stands for color index, followed by an identification number. With the exception of hair dyes, which must always be referred to by their chemical name English. There is a
biodizionario online (http://www.biodizionario.it/) that lists each ingredient, signaling the degree of danger, and in addition there is also an excellent forum (http://lola.forumup. com / index.php? c = 3 & mforum = lola) that speaks of many products by analyzing the incidence, so that our purchases can be more aware.
soon!
