  Does anyone know if “thermal water” is an INCI name?

  TKS. I asked because I am seeing many lists similar to this product: http://www.drugstore.com/avene-cleanance-mask/qxp410713?catid=182937

  Marketing in the Ingredient declaration, while technically not allowed, is pretty common. A few years ago there was a trend to use water that had been “aligned” in some manner to make it more effective. In that case the INCI was still “water” but they tried many creative ways to list it while keeping their marketing in place.

  Most companies won’t get in trouble for doing this unless the FDA has an ax to grind. I would strongly recomend against doing it, though.
