Indian Skincare Ingredient Flags
1,448 cosmetic (INCI) ingredients found in skincare sold in India, with dermatology-referenced flags: Malassezia (fungal-acne) trigger status, comedogenicity rating, fragrance/EU-allergen, alcohol type and pregnancy-caution.
Published by CureSkin (Cure and Care Wellness Pvt. Ltd.) — the data layer behind Indian Skincare, Decoded, medically reviewed by Dr. Charu Sharma, Head of Dermatology at CureSkin.
Blank cells mean "not assessed", never "safe" or "zero". Flags describe ingredients, not products, and are not medical advice.
Columns: inci_name, display_name, function, is_active, fa_trigger (1/0/blank),
comedogenic (0–5/blank), fragrance, eu_allergen, alcohol_type (drying/fatty/blank),
pregnancy_caution, product_count.
