Cosmetic labels can seem complicated đ
INCI, scientific names, ingredients in Latin⊠it quickly feels like reading a foreign language.
đ However, learning to read a label helps you choose your products better and take care of your skin more effectively âš
Here's a simple method to help you understand đ
đŠ 1. Understand what the INCI list is
On every cosmetic product, you will find the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) list.
đ This is the official list of ingredients.
đĄ Important rule:
-
Ingredients are listed from most to least present
-
The first 5 ingredients are the most important
đż 2. Identify the main ingredients
đ Always look at the beginning of the list
Example:
-
Water (Aqua)
-
Vegetable oils
-
Moisturizing active ingredients
đĄ The higher an ingredient is on the list, the more present it is in the product.
đ« 3. Identify ingredients to avoid (if possible)
Some ingredients can be aggressive depending on skin type:
-
sulfates (overly powerful cleansers)
-
silicones (artificial smoothing effect)
-
denatured alcohol (dries out the skin)
-
overly strong fragrances (sensitive skin)
đ This is not always "forbidden," but something to monitor depending on your skin type.
đ§ 4. Identify beneficial active ingredients
