Cosmetic labels can seem complicated 😅
INCI, scientific names, ingredients in Latin… it quickly feels like reading a foreign language.
👉 However, learning to read a label helps you choose your products better and take care of your skin more effectively ✨
Here's a simple method to help you understand 👇
📦 1. Understand what the INCI list is
On every cosmetic product, you will find the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) list.
👉 This is the official list of ingredients.
💡 Important rule:
-
Ingredients are listed from most to least present
-
The first 5 ingredients are the most important
🌿 2. Identify the main ingredients
👉 Always look at the beginning of the list
Example:
-
Water (Aqua)
-
Vegetable oils
-
Moisturizing active ingredients
💡 The higher an ingredient is on the list, the more present it is in the product.
🚫 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)
👉 This is not always "forbidden," but something to monitor depending on your skin type.
💧 4. Identify beneficial active ingredients

👀 5. The 3 simple habits to adopt
When you read a label, ask yourself:
👉 Are the first ingredients useful?
👉 Are there many active ingredients or just "fillers"?
👉 Does the formula match my skin type?
