These ingredients often carry marketing claims, so formulators look for supporting data and correct use levels. Some actives are regulated differently depending on the market. Retinol has maximum levels in the EU, and certain brightening agents such as hydroquinone are restricted to medicines in many countries.
Ask for the INCI name, assay or active content, recommended use level, stability and solubility, impurity data and the regulatory status for each market. For plant extracts, ask for the plant part, extraction solvent, carrier and marker compound content. Claims data, such as clinical or in vitro studies, should come from the supplier with the right to share it.
