PCPC to include Nuvilex ingredient in the cosmetics handbook
The PCPC has included Gel8 (pronounced gelate), an ingredient name assigned to the company by the International Nomenclature Cosmetic for its proprietary cell encapsulation materials, in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary & Handbook as well as in the next update of the Cosmetic industry's International Buyer's Guide.
The combined Dictionary/Handbook contains more than 19,100 INCI labeling names for the US, European Union, Japan and other countries.
"We are thrilled that our work has enabled us to receive this designation. Most importantly, holding the INCI name is necessary for product safety and visibility as well as a significant step forward for using the Cell-in-a-Box(R) and Bac-in-a-Box(R) technology throughout the cosmetics industry," said Dr. John Dangerfield, ASPL chief operating officer.
