Japanese Cosmetic Labeling Names is a standardized naming system used in the Japanese cosmetics industry for labeling cosmetic ingredients. It is compiled and managed by the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association (JCIA).
Firstly assigned in 2001 by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s Notifications, this naming system has been continuously updated to meet industry needs and regulatory requirements, ensuring alignment with international standards while adapting to the specific regulatory framework of the Japanese market.
The system primarily includes the names of cosmetic ingredients and their standardized labeling formats. Specifically, Japanese Cosmetic Labeling Names cover a wide range of commonly used cosmetic ingredients, including chemical compounds, plant extracts, minerals, and other functional components, providing a unified standard for ingredient labeling on cosmetic products.
