How the VISCOSITY CONTROLLING function is used in CosIng
The VISCOSITY CONTROLLING function is assigned by the European Commission in the CosIng ingredient inventory. This page currently lists 1348 ingredients carrying that function label in the dataset, which helps you move from a functional claim to the exact ingredients that use it.
Increasing or decreasing the viscosity (thickness) of cosmetics.
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.
