INCI: What it all means, with Mindy Goldstein Ph.D.

This week, we dive into the nitty gritty on INCI. Perhaps one of those topics that don’t seem like there’s anything to it, but scratch the surface just a little? There absolutely is. From how the INCI standard got started, the process of getting an INCI name to common misconceptions. How much can an ingredient list really tell you? Does getting an INCI designation mean that an ingredient has been approved as safe? Joining me to unpack the topic is Dr. Mindy Goldstein - one of the most badass science inspo figures in the cosmetics science world. Mindy served two terms as the society of cosmetic chemists national president, as an associate editor of the Journal of Cosmetic Science, she’s a member of the INCI nomenclature committee - the group responsible for giving ingredients INCI’s, and recently was awarded the Florence Wall Women in Cosmetic Chemistry Award. Couldn’t think of a better person to cover this topic. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
