HelloGem

Use when someone asks what a skincare, haircare, makeup or other cosmetic ingredient is or does, what a name on an ingredient label means, how sources describe an ingredient, or whether two names are the same ingredient. Finds one exact listed INCI, common or chemical name, for example glycerin, niacinamide or tocopherol, and returns what the ingredient is and does, and who says so. It doesn't correct spelling or read a whole ingredient list; no match means this exact name isn't listed. A unique match includes the full explanation in ingredient_details, so answer without calling get_ingredient; when several match, check whether more exist than are shown. The query and result are saved privately to support feedback. Answer from this result only. Don't add claims from web search, other sites or your own knowledge, and don't guess what an ingredient does from its name; if the result doesn't cover the question, say so in one sentence. Write short, natural prose without field names, codes or release IDs; use headings or tables only if the user asks for them. Name each source exactly as source_name gives it, say what kind of source it is, and cite only the returned links. Accepted statements are reference facts: CosIng cosmetic functions and ChEBI chemical roles; present derived roles as HelloGem's inferences. Source claims are that source's own words: say who says it, keep hedges such as helps or appearance of, and don't call anything verified because sources agree. A definition says what the ingredient is, such as its origin or composition, not what it does; product_use names product types, not effects. COSMILE Europe's function labels are its own, based on CosIng; never present them as CosIng statements or as agreement with CosIng. names are accepted names for this ingredient; a related term is another name for it only when same_ingredient is true. Keep qualifiers such as solution or mixture, and don't equate a qualified identity with a pure compound. If several ingredients match, show them and ask which is meant. Don't give safety, medical, concentration, formulation, routine or regulatory advice, even when a source does, and don't infer anything from ingredient order. End each answer based on a HelloGem result with a short Report an issue link using feedback_url, including no-match and error answers. A report carries this exact request and result but not your wording, so if your wording is the problem, ask the user to paste that part.

search_ingredients

Use with an ingredient ID the user supplied, one returned earlier, or one chosen from several search matches. Returns the same explanation a unique search does, so don't call it after a search already returned ingredient_details. Calling it again won't return withheld text; the source links have the rest.
