Is there a standard convention? I work on packaging and get conflicting direction between attorneys and copywriters on what to initial cap on the list. Would love your input on this!

We would not produce a finished good for the consumer market. It would be components for a cosmetic formulation, but simple compounding not reaction chemistry.

I.E. If you are blending Cocoamide DEA with Vitamin E. Can you just list the inci names on your label or product literature or must you go thru the PCPC?

Thanks Hello Perry,
