INCI Naming, Organic Certification, and Bulk Purchase Inquiry for Extracts
คำถาม
I have questions regarding the use of organic certified Aloe Vera Extract 1:200 and Licorice Extract in formulations, as well as purchasing details:
- INCI Name Declaration: When reconstituting Aloe Vera Extract 1:200 with water to 1:1 concentration and using it at 10% in a formula, how should the INCI name be declared for FDA registration?
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice10.00%Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract10.00%- Separately as
Aqua9.95% andAloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract0.05%
Which declaration is correct?
- Organic Certification and Documentation: Which institute certifies the organic Aloe Vera and Licorice extracts (USDA or ECOCERT)? If I order in bulk, can I request copies of the organic certificate and COA?
- Bulk Pricing and Tax Invoice: Is there special pricing for orders of 100-200g? Can a tax invoice be issued for VAT purposes?

Formulation and Purchasing Information
Here is the information regarding your questions about the Aloe Vera Extract, Licorice Extract, and purchasing details:
1. INCI Name for Aloe Vera Extract 1:200
When using Aloe Vera Extract 1:200 reconstituted to 1:1 concentration at 10% in a formulation, the technically correct INCI name declaration for submission to the FDA is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract at 10.00%. However, in practice, many companies declare it as Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice at 10.00% as it may appear better on the product label. Functionally, there is no significant difference in properties between these two declarations in the final product.
Declaring it as separate components like Aqua and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract with split percentages (e.g., Aqua 9.95%, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract 0.05%) is not the standard or recommended method for this type of ingredient.
2. Organic Certification and Documentation
Both the organic certified Aloe Vera Extract and Licorice Extract are certified by ECOCERT. You can request copies of the organic certificate and Certificate of Analysis (COA) when placing a bulk order. For the Aloe Vera Extract, the bulk quantity starts at 500g, and for the Licorice Extract, it starts at 1kg.
3. Bulk Pricing and Tax Invoice
Wholesale or special pricing typically starts at a minimum quantity of 500g for both Aloe Vera Extract and Licorice Extract. Some very high-priced items may have a lower bulk threshold of 100-200g, but this is not the case for these specific extracts. A tax invoice for VAT purposes can be issued upon purchase.
