How the BUFFERING function is used in CosIng
The BUFFERING function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 219 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.
Stabilising the pH of an aqueous medium in a narrow range even if an acid or base is added. Altering and/or maintaining a cosmetic product's pH at the desired level.
Function assignments come from official EU CosIng data. They describe intended cosmetic use, but they do not replace regulatory review of each linked ingredient and any annex records tied to it.
