An ingredient is a substance that forms part of a mixture (in a general sense). For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish. Many commercial products contain a secret ingredient that is purported to make them better than competing products. In the pharmaceutical industry, an active ingredient is that part of a formulation that yields the effect required by the customer.

National laws usually require prepared food products to display a list of ingredients, and specifically require that certain additives be listed.

In most developed countries, the law requires that ingredients be listed according to their relative quantity in the product. If an ingredient itself consists of more than one ingredient (such as the cookie pieces which are a part of "cookies and cream" flavor ice cream), then that ingredient is listed by what percentage of the total product it occupies, with its own ingredients displayed next to it in brackets.

What are the active ingredient of the wax used in waxing?
Q. Waxing is a popular way of removing hair, but what is so special about it? What ingredient/s makes it also a good method?
Asked by Charles N - Sun Dec 7 06:46:46 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is just wax, the wax is spread on warm allowed to harden and grasp the hairs, when it's pulled off it removes the hair from the follicle, this process can inhibit hair growth anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks depending on your hair growth. It can be painful the first time or two but generally it gets better and well worth it imo.

Is the ingredient aluminum in under arm deodorant the same aluminum of in metal?
Q. Is it cancerous? My high school teacher told us that studies have proven the dangers of this ingredient , that it can cause cancer.
