Advanced features to power every stage of your ingredient strategy
Ready to transform how your teams work with ingredients?
Coptis Ingredients is a professional cosmetic ingredient database integrated directly into the Coptis platform. It provides formulators and innovation teams with structured, manufacturer-validated data on over 15,000 raw materials used across the cosmetic and personal care industry. Designed to support every stage of the sourcing and formulation process, it enables teams to search, compare and evaluate raw materials without leaving the tools they already use.
Coptis Ingredients is designed for every team in a cosmetic laboratory that works with raw materials. Formulators and R&D teams use it to discover, evaluate and compare raw materials at every stage of product development. Sourcing and procurement teams rely on it to qualify suppliers, benchmark options and make faster, more confident purchasing decisions. Innovation and marketing teams use it to stay informed on the latest ingredient launches and sustainability certifications. Because Coptis Ingredients is embedded within the Coptis platform, all these teams work from the same validated, up-to-date source with no duplication and no data silos.
Each raw material profile includes trade name, description, properties, technical specifications, INCI name and CAS number, functional profile, origin, certifications, supplier information, formulation guidelines, associated claims, tolerance info and more. In most cases, manufacturer documents are also attached directly to the profile, including safety data sheets (MSDS) and marketing brochures, giving teams immediate access to the source documentation without having to contact the supplier separately. Profiles are structured to give teams everything they need to assess and work with raw material, from initial discovery through to formulation and sourcing decisions.
Unlike generic ingredient directories that aggregate data from third-party sources, Coptis Ingredients is built on direct partnerships with cosmetic raw material manufacturers. Our team works in close, ongoing contact with suppliers to collect and register ingredient data directly at source. Every entry reflects what the manufacturer produces and validates, ensuring your teams always work from information they can rely on.
Coptis Ingredients is updated three times a year through major releases, covering new raw materials, revised profiles and the latest additions from our manufacturer partner network. Between releases, new ingredients submitted by our partners are reviewed and integrated on an ongoing basis. Subscribers always have access to the most current version of the database as soon as each update is published.
Yes. Coptis Ingredients allows you to filter and discover ingredients by certification and label, including COSMOS, Ecocert, Vegan and other internationally recognized standards, as well as by regulatory criteria such as allergens, heavy metals and CMR status. Combined with over 50 search criteria covering function, origin, supplier, CAS number and more, teams can quickly identify the ingredients that meet both their formulation and sourcing requirements.
Coptis Ingredients is embedded directly within the Coptis formulation environment. Ingredient data imports in one click into your formulation records in the raw material module, with no re-keying and no version mismatches. R&D and innovation teams work from the same validated, up-to-date source, ensuring consistency across the full product development cycle.
Most ingredient databases are external tools that require data to be exported and re-entered into your formulation or PLM system. Coptis Ingredients is already inside the Coptis platform. Ingredient data flows directly into your formulation records in the raw material module without any manual transfer or integration overhead. For cosmetic laboratories already working within Coptis, this means a single environment for sourcing, formulation and product development with no switching between tools, no version mismatches, and no duplicated data.
Yes. Coptis Ingredients allows teams to filter and compare ingredients by certification and sustainability label, including COSMOS, Ecocert, natural origin and other internationally recognized standards. Whether your teams are developing clean beauty formulations, responding to retailer sustainability requirements, or building a more transparent supply chain, Coptis Ingredients gives you the search criteria to identify compliant raw materials quickly and make sourcing decisions grounded in verified data.
No. Coptis Ingredients is a centralized reference and discovery tool, not a replacement for official supplier documentation. It gives your teams a structured, searchable overview of each raw material to support sourcing and formulation decisions. For regulatory submissions and product safety documentation, original supplier datasheets and technical files remain the primary reference.
