How the SKIN CONDITIONING - HUMECTANT function is used in CosIng

The SKIN CONDITIONING - HUMECTANT function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 523 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.

Increasing the water content of the top layers of the skin. Humectants are primarily hygroscopic agents drawing moisture from the surrounding air.

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.
