Classification IGS des Ingrédients

Phenoxyethanol is a widely used preservative in cosmetic, hygiene, pharmaceutical and consumer products. It is valued by formulators because of its broad antimicrobial activity, its stability and its compatibility with many types of formulations. In human cosmetic regulation, phenoxyethanol is currently authorised in the European Union as a preservative at a maximum concentration of 1%. However, the IGS Ingredient Classification Framework does not evaluate ingredients only

Dimethicone is a widely used silicone-based ingredient found in cosmetic, dermatological and grooming formulations. It is commonly used for its smoothing, conditioning, anti-frizz, shine-enhancing, protective and film-forming properties. The International Grooming Society recognizes that dimethicone is not considered a high-risk systemic toxicant based on current available evidence when used appropriately on intact skin in well-formulated topical products.

Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer widely used in cosmetic, dermatological and grooming formulations for its smoothing, lubricating, film-forming, anti-frizz, anti-foaming and skin-protective properties. In ingredient lists, it may appear under the name Dimethicone, Polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS, or as part of broader silicone families.

The International Grooming Society (IGS) promotes an evidence-based, welfare-oriented and globally responsible approach to animal grooming. Through the Global Groomer Health Initiative (GGHI), IGS works to improve professional awareness around the real conditions of grooming work, including repeated exposure to water, surfactants, preservatives, disinfectants, cleaning products, aerosols and other substances used in daily practice.

Dans la littérature commerciale et scientifique, cette combinaison est le plus souvent désignée sous les noms MCI/MI, CMIT/
