Hola:
Este es el primer ingrediente de una crema cosmética. He leído que puede tratarse de "agua desionizada" y por tanto se traduciría tal cual: "Agua (agua desionizada)", pero en este contexto no estoy segura. ¿Alguien me lo puede confirmar?
¡Gracias!
Rosa

agua
Creo que debes traducirla simplemente por agua que es como aparece en la composición de los productos de belleza.

Fuera de ese contexto, cada uno puede hacer lo que quiere, claro. Lo que hay saber es que no hay una traducción «oficial» de esta nomenclatura, salvo en los pocos países que la vierten al idioma local.
Por eso, cuando en un texto figuran nombres INCI, es aconsejable preguntar al cliente cómo quiere que se traten en la traducción.
Saludos cordiales.
