Ingredients

What are Ingredients?

Ingredients in TPD PRO represent all individual chemical substances used in the formulation of e-liquids or other tobacco-related products. Each Composition (liquid formula) is made up of multiple Ingredients, and each Ingredient must be declared in EU-CEG submissions.

TPD PRO provides a powerful and reusable Ingredient Repository, allowing users to manage, reference, and validate ingredients efficiently across multiple products.

Key Features of the Ingredient Module

• Centralized database of ingredients used in compositions

• 200+ preloaded common e-liquid ingredients, complete with CAS numbers and toxicological data

• Manual addition of custom ingredients

• Search, sort, and filter ingredients for quick access

• Reusable across multiple Compositions and Submissions

How to Add an Ingredient

1. Navigate to Ingredients in the left-hand menu

2. Click “Create”

3. Enter the following required information:

   • Name — Common or chemical name of the ingredient

   • CAS Number — Unique Chemical Abstracts Service number (e.g., 57-55-6 for Propylene Glycol)

   • Function — Role in the composition (e.g., flavor, solvent, base)

   • Toxicological Profile (optional)

   • Additional fields (e.g., supplier, REACH data, if available)

4. Click “Save”

✅ Once added, the ingredient becomes available in the Composition builder and can be used repeatedly.

Reusability

• An Ingredient is created once and then reused across any number of Compositions

• If you update an ingredient’s data (e.g., CAS number correction), the change is reflected in all future Compositions, but not retroactively in submitted ones

Best Practices

• Always double-check CAS numbers for accuracy

• Use consistent naming conventions for clarity (e.g., "L-Menthol" vs. "Menthol")

• Group ingredients by function or volatility for better management

• Avoid duplicating ingredients with slight name variations — search first before adding
