Understanding INCI: Your Guide to Ingredients in Natural Skincare

When you pick up a natural skincare product, you might notice a long list of ingredients with unfamiliar names—that’s the INCI, or International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (e.g., “Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil” = Moringa Oil). But what does it really mean for you?

INCI is a standardized system for naming ingredients used worldwide. This transparency helps you see exactly what’s inside your skincare, from plant extracts to oils and active compounds. For natural skincare lovers, understanding INCI empowers you to:

• Identify truly natural and safe ingredients

• Avoid allergens, irritants, or unwanted chemicals

• Compare products and make informed choices

At Nia Natural Beauty, we believe in clear, honest labeling with simple, recognizable natural ingredients. Our products are crafted with care using clean, transparent formulations designed to perform effectively while being gentle on your skin and your wallet.

So next time you check an ingredient list, know that the INCI is there to help you make your best, most natural choice. Because great skincare begins with knowing what’s in the bottle—and feeling confident in what you put on your skin.
