Das Magazin für Hautgesundheit

Informiere dich über Kosmetik-Inhaltsstoffe

Die Bezeichnungen von Inhaltsstoffen sind international einheitlich geregelt in der International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI). Auf deutsch: "Internationale Nomenklatur für kosmetische Inhaltsstoffe". Die INCI für Vitamin E ist beispielsweise Tocopherol. Du findest die Inhaltsstoffe auf Kosmetik-Produkten unter der Überschrift „Ingredients“ in absteigender Reihenfolge. Das bedeutet, dass der erste Inhaltsstoff am meisten enthalten ist, der zweite am zweitmeisten u.s.w.. Eine Ausnahme gilt bei Inhaltsstoffen, die weniger als 1% des Produktes ausmachen: Diese dürfen vom Hersteller in beliebiger Reihenfolge angegeben werden. Dies dient zum Schutz vor Nachahmern. Falls Inhaltsstoffe in gleicher Menge enthalten sind, z.B. beide 5%, kann der Hersteller ebenfalls entscheiden, in welcher Reihenfolge er sie angibt.

Ob eine große Einsatzkonzentration oder eine niedrige positiv oder negativ ist, hängt ganz vom Inhaltsstoff ab. Manche Wirkstoffe wirken schon bei sehr niedrigen Einsatzkonzentrationen und sollten nicht zu viel verwendet werden, das gilt zum Beispiel bei Niacinamide, welches ideal zwischen 3% und 5% wirkt. Über 5% kann sich die Wirkung sogar umkehren.

Unten findest du Kosmetik-Inhaltsstoffe unter der INCI und der deutschen Bezeichnung (sofern es eine deutsche Bezeichnung gibt). Klicke einfach auf einen Inhaltsstoff, um mehr über seine Herkunft, Wirkung bzw. Funktion und seine Verträglichkeit zu erfahren.
