Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 1

 1. Introduction

This document is a guide to help understand the nuances of the International

Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) system of ingredient labelling. It is
based on what is required as per the Cosmetic Regulations. This guide includes
tables to clarify common questions, ingredient label examples, and tips to verify
proper INCI labelling.

This document is intended to help clarify the Cosmetic Regulations with respect
to ingredient labelling. It is not intended to substitute requirements under the
applicable legislation. In case of any discrepancy between this document and the
legislation, the legislation will prevail.

 2. Cosmetic Regulations

Table 1: Sections 21.1—21.5 of the Cosmetic Regulations which pertain to INCI labelling
Section Summary

21.1 Sections 21.1—21.5 do not apply to any product whose ingredient labelling is regulated
under the Food and Drug Regulations or the Natural Health Products Regulations.

21.2(1) Subject to subsection (4), a list of ingredients must appear on the outer label of a cosmetic,
with each ingredient listed by its INCI name.

21.2(2) In the case of makeup and nail polish and enamel sold in a range of colour shades, all
colouring agents used in the range may be listed if they are preceded by the symbol “+/-”
or “±” or the phrase “may contain / peut contenir”.
21.2(3) Botanicals must be listed by specifying at least the genus and species portions of the
INCI name.

21.2(4) An ingredient that is included in the schedule may be listed either by its European Union
(EU) trivial name set out in column I of the schedule or by the appropriate English and
French equivalents set out in columns 2 and 3.
21.3 An ingredient that has no INCI name must be listed by its chemical name.
21.4(1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), ingredients must be listed in descending order of
predominance, in their concentration by weight.

21.4(2) Ingredients that are present at a concentration of 1% or less and all colouring agents,
regardless of their concentration, may be listed in random order after the ingredients that
are present at a concentration of more than 1%.
21.4(3) In the case of fragrance and flavour, the words “parfum” and “aroma”, respectively, may
be inserted at the end of the list to indicate that such ingredients have been added to the
cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular odour or flavour.
21.5(1) Despite subsection 21.2(1) in the case of a cosmetic whose immediate container or outside
package is so small that the label cannot comply with the requirements of paragraph 18(b),
the list of ingredients may appear on a tag, tape or card affixed to the container or package.
21.5(2) Despite subsection 21.2(1), in the case of a cosmetic in an ornamental container that has
no outside package, the list of ingredients may appear on a tag, tape or card affixed to the
container.
21.5(3) Despite subsection 21.2(1), in the case of a cosmetic that has no outside package and
whose size, shape or texture, or that of its immediate container, makes it impractical for a
tag, tape or card to be affixed to the container, the list of ingredients may instead appear in
a leaflet that must accompany the cosmetic at the point of sale.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 3

 3. Ingredient Labelling—section 21.1

Cosmetic products are required to have mandatory ingredient labelling as per

the Cosmetic Regulations. Please note that mandatory INCI ingredient labelling
only applies to cosmetic products, and does not apply to drugs or natural health
products. The label must be legible and follow all other labelling requirements
outlined in the Cosmetic Regulations and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling
Act.

The list of ingredients may be preceded by the word “Ingredient” or “Ingredients/

Ingrédients”. Although this is not a regulatory requirement, it is considered
acceptable.

Incidental ingredients do not need to be included on the label. Incidental

ingredients are defined as: any processing aid added and removed or converted
to a declared ingredient, or any ingredient of another ingredient or processing aid
present at an insignificant level and having no technical or functional effect.

4 Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling

 4. Presence and Location—section 21.2(1), 21.5(1-3)

All cosmetic products require the ingredient names to be listed on the outer label.
INCI nomenclature is not required for non-cosmetic products (however it is
acceptable for drugs and natural health products in order to list non-medicinal
ingredients). Since most cosmetics have packaging, the ingredient list should be on
the outer label, and clearly visible to the consumer at the time of purchase of the
product.

Note:
 The intention of the Regulations is to have ingredients clearly visible and in
an obvious location such that consumers can read them at the point of sale.
 An ingredient list should not be placed on the underside/bottom of a container
if it can be easily placed on a display panel.
 The information required by the Regulations takes precedence and is of greater
priority than voluntary information listed on the product label.

Legibility:
A box listing ingredients that is wrapped in clear cellophane would be considered
acceptable since the ingredients are clearly visible. Products with ingredients listed
on the back surface of an outer label that are read through a transparent container
and clear liquids are considered acceptable unless the container and contents distort
the lettering and affect the legibility of the ingredient list.

Bottom Labels/Peel-back Labels:

The outer label is the one that is most easily visible, usually with the largest surface
area. The bottom of a container may be considered acceptable in cases where the
shape of the container is flat (e.g. shoe polish container shape). Accordion and peel-
back labels are acceptable as long as they are not destroyed and can be put back into
place in its original condition. Also, it must be indicated that the ingredient list can
be found behind the label (i.e. top portion of peel-back label states “Ingredients
here”, and can be stuck on again after being peeled). The label must clearly indicate
the ingredients or where the ingredients are listed, and must remain permanently
affixed to the container such that consumers can view the list of ingredients at the
point of purchase.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 5

 Bulk and Loose Cosmetics:
A cosmetic that has no outside package (or no packaging altogether) and whose size,
shape or texture, makes it impractical for a tag, tape or card to be affixed to the
container, may list the ingredients on a leaflet that must accompany the product
at the point of sale. An example of such a product is bath beads, and other bulk
or loose products.

4.1 Small Containers

Examples of small containers are those for lipstick, eye liner, lip balm, or anything
that may be too small to list all the ingredients in the product on the packaging.
Small containers should have a tag, tape or card affixed to it which lists the
ingredients if they are not on the outer label. Tear-away tags or leaflets accompany-
ing the product at point of sale are not acceptable.

4.2 Ornamental Containers

An ornamental container is a container that, except on the bottom, does not have
any promotional or advertising material on it other than a trade-mark or common
name. It is considered to be a decorative ornament because of a design that is on
its surface or because of its shape or texture, and is sold as a decorative ornament
in addition to being sold as the container of a cosmetic. An example of this is a
perfume bottle.

If a cosmetic in an ornamental container has an outside package, the ingredient list

must appear on the outside package. If a cosmetic in an ornamental container does
not have an outside package, the ingredient list may appear on a tag, tape or card
affixed to the container.

4.3 Testers
Product testers, which allow the public to try the product prior to purchase, do not
need to supply ingredient lists. Testers usually appear in close vicinity to the
cosmetic that is available for sale. The ingredient list would appear on the label
of the product for sale, thus allowing the public to review the ingredients prior to
testing the product.

6 Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling

 4.4 Hotel Amenities
Hotel amenities that meet the definition of a cosmetic are subject to all requirements
under the Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations. There are no special
provisions for hotel amenities, therefore they must adhere to the ingredient labelling
requirements as described in this guide.

4.5 Gift Sets and Kits

Gift sets and kits that contain multiple cosmetics need to list the ingredients of all
the cosmetics comprising the kit on the outer packaging such that they are available
to the consumer at the time of purchase of the product. Gift baskets that have
multiple products and are wrapped decoratively (i.e. with cellophane), may have
a card affixed to them, since this would be considered an ornamental container.

4.6 Samples
The cosmetic ingredient labelling requirements apply to samples in the same
manner that they apply to other cosmetic products.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 7

 5. Shades and Colours—section 21.2(2)

Cosmetics such as makeup or nail polish/enamel that come in various shades can
list all colouring agents used in the range of products if preceded by the symbols
“±” or “may contain/peut contenir”. It is recommended that when the symbol “±”
or “may contain/peut contenir” is used, the colouring agents be the last ingredients
listed, in order to reduce the confusion over what substances are included under
“may contain/peut contenir”. Note that this does not apply to hair dye colourants,
but can apply to all makeup, hair mascara, and temporary coloured hair sprays that
can be rinsed off.
 Colouring agents should be listed as CI numbers, or colour names (formerly
“FD&C” names). For example: CI 42090 (Blue 1). The order of listing them as
either CI# or colour name first does not matter.
 Either naming conventions can be used (if they are in the International Cosmetic
Ingredient [ICI] Dictionary), however it must be clear if both are listed that they
are the same ingredient and not separate ingredients. For example: CI 42090
(Blue 1). The two synonymous names for the ingredient can be separated by
brackets or a slash, e.g. CI 42090/Blue 1, CI 15985/Yellow 6. Note that the use of
slash for colouring agents does not have the same meaning as the use of a slash
for ingredients.
 Please note that not all colours have both the name and CI index listed, there are
some colours which do not have a corresponding CI number in the ICI Dictionary
(e.g. Basic Blue 99).
 Please note that “FD&C” is not part of any INCI name.

8 Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling

 6. Botanical Ingredients—section 21.2(3)

Botanical and herbal ingredients must be listed using the genus and species names
(at minimum) or the complete INCI name. Examples of proper INCI names of plants
with the genus and species listed are as follows:
Aesculus hippocastanum
Salix alba
Sambucus nigra
Mentha piperita
Melaleuca alternifolia
Chamomilla recutita

As stated previously, only the genus and species of the INCI name OR the entire
name should be listed. A complete INCI name may include genus and species,
common name, plant part, and/or method of preparation. There should not be any
partial INCI names listed, however “partial” can vary depending on what the com-
plete name is in the ICI Dictionary (e.g. some botanical INCI names may not include
method of preparation). The common names of the botanical ingredients should not
be translated.

An example is provided in Table 2 on the next page to clarify this concept.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 9

 Table 2: Acceptable and unacceptable labelling of botanical ingredients

Mentha viridis (Spearmint oil) ✗ Mentha piperita extract ✗

Spearmint oil ✗ Mentha piperita leaf* ✗

Peppermint ✗

* leaf can be replaced by either flower or stem

In most cases, a slash does not mean "and" or "or" but rather indicates a reaction
between each ingredient on either side of the slash, e.g. Acrylates/Styrene
Copolymer. In the case of botanical ingredients, where a slash is between plant
parts, this means that all the indicated plant parts are used in the preparation. For
example, for Camellia sinensis flower/leaf extract, the flower and leaves were
used in the extraction.

If a vendor requires an INCI name for a plant part (alone) or a combination that is
not currently published to the Dictionary, that vendor should submit an INCI name
application at: www.ctfa-inciapplication.org

 7. Ingredients on the Schedule—section 21.2(4)

The names listed in the Schedule to the Cosmetic Regulations (Appendix 1)

are considered “Trivial Names”. There are three columns in the Schedule. The
manufacturer must use names exactly as they are mentioned in the Schedule of
the Cosmetic Regulations. They can use either the:
 European Union (EU) trivial name (column 1): e.g. aqua; or
 English AND French equivalent name (columns 2 and 3): e.g. water/eau; or
 names in all three columns (columns 1 and 2 and 3): e.g. aqua/water/eau.

Table 3: Example of Schedule in the Cosmetic Regulations

The complete list of ingredients on the Schedule is given in Appendix 1.
The highlighted cell is used as an example in Table 4 (see next page).

 8. Descending Order—section 21.4(1)

Ingredients must be listed in decreasing order of predominance in their

concentration by weight. Descending order of concentration does not necessarily
apply to fragrance agents, flavouring agents or colouring agents (unless the company
wishes to state them in decreasing order of concentration). Colouring agents should
be listed at the very end of the list if all the colouring agents will be listed using the
“±” sign or “may contain/peut contenir” provision.

9. Ingredients Less than 1% Concentration—

section 21.4(2)
Ingredients at a concentration less than 1%, and colouring agents may be listed
in random order after the ingredients present at greater than 1%. Flavouring and
fragrance agents in products at levels greater than 1% may be listed as “aroma” and
“parfum” at the end of the ingredient list, or can be placed in descending order
of concentration.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 13

 10. Parfum and Aroma—section 21.4(3)

The Cosmetic Regulations require that the INCI terms “parfum” and “aroma” are
used for fragrance and flavour ingredients, respectively.

The following are INCI names listed in the ICI Dictionary :

 Parfum
 Aroma
 Fragrance
 Flavor

Note: The term “flavour” (Canadian spelling) does not appear in the ICI Dictionary.
It is not an official INCI name, however this spelling will be accepted because of its
reference as “flavour” in the Cosmetic Regulations.

10.1 Parfum and Fragrance

The use of the term “parfum” alone or with “fragrance” is permitted, however
the term “fragrance” alone is not acceptable. This term is used to indicate that
ingredients have been added to the cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular
odour. Another alternative is to list the components of the fragrance ingredients
as individual ingredients.
parfum ✓
fragrance ✗
parfum/fragrance ✓
fragrance (parfum) ✓

Acceptable options for listing fragrance agents:

 Using the term “parfum” at the end of the ingredient list.
 Using the term “parfum” at the appropriate point in the ingredient list following
the rule of descending order of predominance, in concentration by weight.
 Listing each fragrance ingredient individually by descending order of
predominance.

14 Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling

 10.2 Aroma and Flavour
The use of the term “aroma” alone or with flavour (or flavor) is permitted. The
ICI Dictionary has the spelling “flavor” whereas the Cosmetic Regulations uses
the spelling “flavour”. Therefore, both spellings of the word will be considered
acceptable, but they cannot be used on their own. “Aroma” is used in an ingredient
list to indicate that substances have been added to the cosmetic to produce or to
mask a particular taste.
aroma ✓
flavour ✗
flavor ✗
aroma/flavour ✓
aroma (flavor) ✓
flavour/aroma ✓
flavor (aroma) ✓

Acceptable options for listing flavouring agents:

 Using the term “aroma” at the end of the ingredient list.
 Using the term “aroma” at the appropriate point in the ingredient list following
the rule of descending order of predominance, in concentration by weight.
 Listing each flavour ingredient individually by descending order of
predominance.

Guide to Cosmetic Ingredient Labelling 15

 11. Other Points of Interest

 Ingredients that have been translated into French, or ingredients listed in

foreign languages must be listed separately, not mixed with INCI names.
A separate (but identical) ingredient list using another nomenclature system
or language may follow the INCI list.
 Ingredients in cosmetics must not be separated as medicinal and non-medicinal
ingredients (or active/inactive ingredients), since this would imply that the
product is a drug or natural health product.
 Ingredients must not have descriptions (e.g. super-oxygenated water).
 Order of ingredients: [ingredients in descending order of concentration] +
[flavour] + [fragrance] + [± or “may contain/peut contenir” colouring agents].
 Punctuation: the difference between different ingredients must be clear.
The following are acceptable means of expressing ingredients:
 e.g.: water/eau, butyrospermum parkii, cetearyl alcohol,
acid blue 1/CI 42045...
 e.g.: water(eau), butyrospermum parkii, cetearyl alcohol,
CI 42045 (acid blue 1)...
— note that different ingredients are separated by a comma;
— note that different names for the same ingredients are expressed with
a slash, or brackets.

 12. Hints and Tips

Follow these steps when verifying ingredient labelling:

 ensure ingredients are on the outer label and clear, visible, and legible;
 are any ingredients on the Schedule to the Cosmetic Regulations (i.e. Trivial
Names)? If so, verify that they are labelled properly. Check if Aqua/Water/Eau is
listed correctly;
 are there any botanical ingredients? Verify that a genus and species are listed;
 ensure “parfum”, “aroma” and colouring agents are listed correctly.
