INCI Names
Hi,
I’m interested in knowing if the chemical names in the INCI directory are connected to specific chemical structures/CAS number, and if there is some resource for this available online.
I’m curious about this because I found that cosmetic peptides are completely arbitrarily named, with a prefix denoting the length and an arbitrary number at the end. Is cosmetic peptide production mainly limited to a few suppliers who keep it consistent? If not, what’s stopping company A from putting any old peptide into their formulation and calling it “tripeptide-1”?
Thank you!
