CosIng is the official cosmetic ingredient database of the European Union (EU), established under the amendment of Decision 2006/257/EC. It contains over 15,000 ingredients used in the production of cosmetic products. The database was introduced to streamline the previously time-consuming process of gathering ingredient-related information, while fostering innovation and efficiency. CosIng enables manufacturers to easily verify that any modifications to product formulations comply with EU regulations (EC No. 1223/2009), making the entire manufacturing process more efficient and cost-effective.

CosIng includes ingredients from the previous EU inventory, as well as a list of ingredients that are either banned or restricted. This resource allows manufacturers to identify any limitations associated with specific ingredients. The database offers:

Both chemical and common names of ingredients, as required by Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, to ensure accurate product labelling.
EU regulations pertaining to specific ingredients.

Searching the CosIng Database:

Manufacturers can utilize two main search methods:

Simple Search: Allows users to search by substance names, including International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI), International Nonproprietary Name (INN), Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.), chemical names, or by CAS/EC numbers. For example, instead of entering “Cyclohexanediol” try “1,4 Cyclohexanediol Bis-Ethylhexanoate” to get an exact match. Advanced Search: Provides more specific criteria, such as Ph. Eur. name, ingredient restrictions and functions, reference numbers, and regulatory publication dates.

Key Considerations:

The presence of an ingredient with an INCI name in the database does not guarantee its approval for use in cosmetic products
Ingredients such as colorants, preservatives, and UV filters are included only if approved under Annexes IV, V, and VI of Cosmetic Regulation No 1223/2009.
Some medicinal product ingredients are also included in CosIng.
A product’s safety assessment must validate the use of any ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
