CONIUNCTA® extends documentation access for registered customers
Technical documentation for plant extracts: TDS, SDS and CoA at a glance The procurement of plant extracts for cosmetic or food applications requires a sound database. Technical documentation forms the foundation for formulation development, regulatory compliance and quality assurance. This article explains the three central document types: Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Certificate of Analysis (CoA). Technical Data Sheet: Product specifications for the formulation The Technical Data Sheet - also known as the Product Data Sheet or Specification Sheet - contains all the information relevant to the formulation of a botanical extract. It documents the INCI declaration according to the international nomenclature, the Natural Origin Index according to ISO 16128 as well as information on COSMOS and NaTrue conformity. The composition is specified with CAS numbers, EINECS numbers and concentration data. For liquid extracts based on glycerol, propylene glycol or pentylene glycol, there is a separate data sheet for each carrier. Powder extracts also contain information on the extract ratio, particle size and loss on drying. The regulatory section includes the SVHC status according to the ECHA Candidate List, BSE/TSE conformity, GMO status and allergen information according to Annex III of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 - updated according to Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 on fragrance allergens. Safety Data Sheet: Safety relevant information according to REACH The safety data sheet complies with the requirements of REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 and follows the standardized 16-section format. It contains the classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, first aid measures, information on handling and storage as well as toxicological and ecotoxicological data. Cosmetic raw materials from natural sources are often not classified as hazardous substances. The SDS documents this accordingly and provides information on personal protective equipment, storage conditions according to TRGS 510 and transport regulations according to ADR, IMDG and IATA. In contrast to the product-specific TDS, an SDS can cover several product variants, provided they are identical in terms of safety - for example, all carrier variants of an extract. Certificate of Analysis: Batch-specific quality documentation The certificate of analysis documents the actual test results of the delivered batch. It contains the batch number, the production and best-before date as well as the results of the organoleptic, chemical-physical and microbiological tests. Typical parameters include pH value, relative density, refractive index and microbiological testing for total plate count (TAMC), yeasts and molds (TYMC) and the absence of pathogenic germs. The release note confirms conformity with the specification by the quality control department. The batch-specific documentation is a prerequisite for the creation of safety assessments (Cosmetic Product Safety Report) and traceability within the scope of audits. Documentation access at CONIUNCTA Registered customers have access to TDS and SDS via the "Technical Documentation" tab on each product page. The Certificate of Analysis is provided with the delivery after purchase. For specific requirements, please contact the Regulatory Affairs department at qm-external@coniuncta.com.

CONIUNCTA® publishes platform update 2025
CONIUNCTA® relaunched - our platform in a new format Over the past few months, we have fundamentally revised the CONIUNCTA® platform in terms of technology and content. The aim of this further development is to provide you as formulation managers, purchasers or brand owners with a clearly structured, reliable and future-proof working basis for your projects in the cosmetics and food industry. With the new appearance of coniuncta.com, we are creating a digital environment in which products, data and regulatory requirements are better connected - for greater efficiency in development, purchasing and quality assurance. What's new on coniuncta.com? 1. clear structure & professional navigation The platform has been designed so that you can find the raw materials you need in a targeted and straightforward manner. Our product world is now divided into clearly defined categories, including Liquid extracts (e.g. leaves, flowers, roots, fruits, berries, mushrooms, algae, orchids, vegetables) Powder extracts active ingredients liposomes Basic chemicals minerals In addition, filters are available according to application area (cosmetics / food) and processing properties (e.g. water- or oil-soluble, glycerine- or glycol-based). This allows you to quickly narrow down the selection to those raw materials that are technically and conceptually suitable for your project. 2. extended options for BIO, NATURE and COSMOS Sustainability and certifiability are key criteria for modern product concepts. With this in mind, we have expanded our range and labeling with regard to: BIO-compliant raw materials, NATURE-compliant options and COSMOS-compliant raw materials significantly expanded. Wherever possible, relevant information is displayed directly on the product and in the technical documentation. This allows you to assess more quickly whether a raw material can be integrated into existing or planned certification concepts. 3. significantly deepened and structured database A key component of the revision was to improve the quality of our product data. We have updated, supplemented and more clearly structured content, including more precise product descriptions and defined recommendations for use, transparent information on solubility and the base (e.g. glycerine, glycol, oil or water), information on recommended application concentrations and areas of application, Characteristics such as moisturizing, astringent, protective, pore-refining or "glow". CONIUNCTA® is thus evolving from a pure product overview to a workable tool for development, regulatory and marketing. Our claim CONIUNCTA® combines pharmaceutical active ingredient expertise with modern biotechnology. We develop and deliver high-quality, reliable ingredients for brands of all sizes - from established companies to dynamic start-ups. The revised platform is a further step towards making this claim visible and usable: it is designed to help you make informed decisions, shorten development times and future-proof your product portfolios. Work in progress - transparency about the status The further development of the platform and the database is deliberately designed as an ongoing process. We are continuously working on supplementing and deepening product information, the further sharpening of links between raw materials, fields of application and certification options, additional optimization of navigation, filter logic and presentation. As these adjustments are being made during ongoing operations, there may still be inconsistencies or deviations in certain areas - for example in product texts, filter results or translations. We would like to communicate openly here: We are aware of these issues and are actively working to rectify them. If you notice any specific issues, please let us know - your feedback will help us to further professionalize the platform. Your added value With the new platform, we would like to enable you in particular to Quick and targeted selection of suitable raw materials, better planning with regard to certifications such as BIO, NATURE and COSMOS, a solid database for development, regulatory, purchasing and marketing, inspiration for new, differentiated product concepts.
