Ingredient Listing for Hair Serum
Question
I am making a hair serum product using Fractionated Coconut Oil and Argan Oil with a PEEB fragrance. I would like to know if the following ingredient list format is correct, or if not, how it should be listed:
`INGREDIENTS : VIRGIN Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, PARFUM (PEEB Fragrance)`
Could you please provide guidance on the correct way to list the ingredients? Thank you.
Answer
Subject: Regarding Ingredient Listing for Hair Serum
Hello,
Thank you for your question about listing ingredients for your hair serum.
Ingredient lists on cosmetic products typically follow the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) system. Ingredients are generally listed in descending order of concentration, from highest to lowest.
Let's look at your proposed list: `INGREDIENTS : VIRGIN Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, PARFUM (PEEB Fragrance)`
Based on the link you provided for the coconut oil, it points to "Fractionated Coconut Oil" (Product ID 169), not "Virgin Coconut Oil". These are different types of coconut oil. Therefore, the correct way to list this ingredient based on the product you linked is "Fractionated Coconut Oil".
Listing "Argan Oil" is generally acceptable, especially if it's the primary component after the coconut oil. The link you provided is for "Argan Oil Virgin Organic" (Product ID 89), so listing it as "Argan Oil" is fine, or you could be more specific if you prefer.
Listing the fragrance as "PARFUM" is the standard INCI term for fragrance blends. Adding the specific scent name like "(PEEB Fragrance)" in parentheses is also common practice to inform consumers about the scent.
So, a more accurate ingredient list based on the products you linked would be:
INGREDIENTS: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, PARFUM (PEEB Fragrance)
Remember to list the ingredients in descending order of their concentration in your final product.
I hope this helps!
