What is a trivial name?
A trivial name is the Latin version of the INCI name assigned to certain ingredients by the European Union. This means that there are, in fact, two INCI names for some cosmetic ingredients: one typical INCI name and one European trivial name. There are a total of 60 European trivial names, which correspond to 93 typical INCI names. All of these terms are INCI names. All trivial names can be found in the schedule at the end of the Cosmetic Regulations with their corresponding equivalents.
