Regulatory facts can be sourced from EU COSING, IFRA and PCPC dictionaries, scientific papers, and more. With these fields you can filter, join, or compliance-check any product in one query.
Because ingredient rows share keys with product, region, consumer review and profile, you can pivot across these dimensions instantly - turning a simple INCI list into a panoramic view of market demand and formulation opportunity.
Some examples include:
Market-tested synergies – See which minor actives consistently travel with Centella or Niacinamide in top-rated formulas, and which pairings drag satisfaction down.
Demographic resonance – Spot ingredients that Gen-Z females rave about but Boomers ignore, or actives that over-index with sensitive-skin males.
Concern targeting – Trace which ingredients are praised for calming redness versus clearing blackheads, so you can match actives to the concerns that matter most.
Regional fit – Compare how the same ingredient is perceived in Italy versus the US, revealing where a hero active needs a reformulation tweak or a different claim angle.
