  • Declaration of the components of a substance

    Hi,
    I have an active ingredient which has been lyophilized by using a buffer. My concern is that I am not sure if I must declare the buffer or not. According to the EU regulation I think that maybe it could be considered as a necessary ingredient to keep the stability of the active and hence be considered an only substance and only declaring the INCI name of the active. I did some research but It is still not clear to me. Any advice or where to find this information? Thank you very much for your help

    I always declare all the components, including the ones used as buffer or preservatives in my raw materials.
