I'd like to use Schema.org for a series of product specs pages.

The products are cosmetics (shampoos, creams, etc.) and ideally an INCI declaration will be included for every product.

I'd like to use Schema.org in the declaration, but I cannot find a suitable category in Schema.org. Ingredients is meant for cooking recipes, and ActiveIngredient for (medical) drugs and dietary supplements.

Did I overlook some part of the tree? Any ideas for a workaround? Or am I trying to do something out of scope?
