CTFA International Buyers' Guide Submission Form
Use Form BG to identify ingredients for which you want to be listed as a supplier in the CTFA International Buyers' Guide. Identify the ingredients only by their International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) names (formerly known as CTFA Adopted names). These names are identified in CTFA's International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary and Handbook and the most recent edition of the CTFA International Buyers' Guide. Go to our Publications Store to obtain copies of these publications.

Do not use Form BG for trade name ingredients. Requests for the assignment of INCI names to trade name ingredients must be filed on INCI Application (Form TN), even if an INCI name already exists for the material.

In addition, Form TN must be used if no INCI name exists for the ingredient.
