A note on the name SNAP-8
SNAP-8 is Lubrizol's trade name for its own acetyl octapeptide-3 ingredient. We record it here because buyers search by it. Our product carries the INCI name Acetyl Octapeptide-3 on its papers, and the manufacturer appears on its certificate.
Papers for the product file and the conformity file
A cosmetic formula lists every ingredient by its INCI name. Each consignment of cosmetics or chemicals entering Iraq also needs a Certificate of Conformity under the Conformity Assessment Programme, issued before shipment by an authorised body. With this ingredient come its INCI name and the batch certificate of analysis. On request, where the manufacturer issues them: a specification, the safety data sheet and a certificate of origin.
The use level, the registration of your finished product and the claims printed on it are the brand's own. Importing cosmetics into Iraq
