Subject: In the 1940s, the cosmetic industry
recognized the problem in identifying and describing common
cosmetic ingredients. To address this problem, a Board of
Standards was instituted by the Toilet Goods Association (which
later became the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association).
In 1973, the first edition of the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient
Dictionary was published. The new eighth edition of the CTFA
International Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook has grown substantially
since 1997. This edition now contains more than 10,000 monographs
of INCI labeling names, an increase of more than 1,250 since
the last edition. There are also more than 24,500 trade names
cross-referenced from 963 suppliers representing 32 different
countries. This three-volume set provides the most complete
listing of ingredients used in cosmetics and personal care
products worldwide. It also includes information on the chemical
class, functions, and product use categories as reported to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
