how to get a new raw material “certified” for cosmetics - (in the EU)
I have a client that wants to use a powdered form of a special tree as a cosmetic raw material. Is this possible?
- the corresponding extract is already available. -

does it have a recognised INCI name?

Bill_Toge the extract yes but not the powder

@heraklit thanks for the link - however it says:
Substances occurring in nature are exempt from registration…..unless classified as dangerous - which I suppose means you first need to prove that they are safe? -
in which case, a good first step would be to apply to the Personal Care Products Council for a new INCI name
secondly, is relevant toxicology data available?
(this is not a legal requirement, but without it, you’ll have trouble convincing safety assessors that it’s suitable for use in cosmetics)

Yes of course, you need to prove they are safe and yet maybe to present data, that they could be beneficial and effective as cosmetic ingredients.
