INCI Name–Registered Products
INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is an internationally recognized naming system for cosmetic ingredients, established by the U.S. Personal Care Products Council (PCPC).
Ingredients registered with INCI are also submitted to the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association (JCIA) to be listed as official ingredient names for labeling purposes in Japan. Once registered, the INCI name is used to generate the corresponding Japanese labeling name.
Apacider C and AW-N are INCI-registered ingredients. When used in cosmetics (including quasi-drugs) in Japan, they can be listed directly on product labels under their INCI names.
