Although it is easy to identify some Aluminium (AL)-cosmetic ingredients by their INCI name containing the word “Aluminum”, there are many Al-containing ingredients difficult to be identified.
A list of Al-cosmetic ingredients is available in the "final SCCS opinion on the safety of Aluminium in cosmetic products" (SCCS/1644/22). In the context of this opinion, seven companies participating in a project identified different Al-ingredients that were present in cosmetic products sold in the European market.
