§ FAQ · Frequently Asked Questions

Core regulatory, chemical normalization, and data integration queries for beauty developers and formulators.

How is INCI chemical nomenclature normalized across regional registries?

INCIDB cross-references compound designations against EU CosIng and US FDA substance registries, mapping synonym variations, botanical Latin binominals, and trade names to canonical INCI primary keys alongside verified CAS registry numbers.

What are FDA MoCRA contact allergens and how are they flagged?

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) mandates explicit disclosure of fragrance and contact allergens. INCIDB sets a binary flag (`is_common_allergen = 1`) for all mandatory regulatory sensitizers, including Citral, Linalool, Limonene, and Phenoxyethanol.

Why is the dataset distributed in both CSV and Apache Parquet formats?

While CSV provides universal compatibility for Excel and basic scripts, columnar Apache Parquet files reduce storage footprint by up to 80% and enable sub-second filtering of 19,645+ formulations using PyArrow, Pandas, or DuckDB without loading the entire dataset into memory.

How are comedogenic ratings and fungal acne triggers determined?

Comedogenic ratings (0.0 to 5.0 scale) and Malassezia (fungal acne) trigger flags are derived from peer-reviewed dermatological literature and CosIng lipid/ester profiles, highlighting pore-clogging fatty acids and esters.
