In this Module you’ll learn how to turn your cosmetic formula into a clear, accurate, and legally compliant ingredient list (also known as an INCI list)—an essential step if you plan to sell your products.

An INCI list (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) is the standardized system used on cosmetic labels worldwide. It ensures transparency for customers and compliance with global cosmetic regulations.

In this module, you’ll learn exactly how to identify the correct INCI names for your ingredients and complete the calculations needed to list them in the proper order—without confusion or guesswork.

You’ll also learn the right way to label essential oils, botanicals, fragrances, aromas, colorants, and pigments—then practice with a step-by-step example.

• INCI names - what are they and why are they important?
• How to find INCI names for ingredients.
• The order in which to list ingredients.
• How to name essential oils and botanical ingredients.
• How to name fragrances and aromas.
• How to name colorants and pigments.

To make everything crystal clear, we’ll guide you through a step-by-step example showing how to convert a finished formula into a complete INCI list. You’ll then reinforce your learning with an activity, giving you hands-on practice and the confidence to write INCI lists for your own products.

By the end of this module, you’ll have a clear, repeatable process you can use again and again—helping you label your products professionally and in line with cosmetic regulations around the world.

Module 2: Writing your INCI List is the second module in our Labeling Cosmetic Products with Confidence course.

Take the whole course for a complete step-by-step guide to everything you need to include on your label, or take this module as a standalone class if you only need help with writing your ingredient INCI list.

Labeling your cosmetic products correctly is essential for selling them with confidence. Your product label might be small — but it carries big responsibility.

Beautiful packaging draws customers in, but your label also plays an essential role in keeping your products compliant, your customers informed, and your business protected.

When you sell cosmetic products, your label carries essential safety, ingredient, and compliance information that you’re legally required to provide. Trying to figure out what you need to include can feel overwhelming and confusing

Our five-module Labeling Cosmetic Products with Confidence course takes the overwhelm out of cosmetic labeling and shows you, step by step, exactly what needs to go on your products — and how to do it correctly and confidently.

In the course, you’ll learn:

MODULE 1: WHAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED ON A PRODUCT LABEL?
MODULE 2: WRITING YOUR INGREDIENT INCI LIST
MODULE 3: CALCULATING AND LISTING ALLERGENS ON YOUR PRODUCT LABEL
MODULE 4: SYMBOLS, EXPIRY DATES AND BATCH NUMBERS FOR PRODUCT LABELS
MODULE 5: VISUAL BRANDING AND LABEL DESIGN 

By the end of the course, you won’t just have labels that look lovely — you’ll have labels that meet requirements, build customer trust, and support your business as it grows.
