Glycerin
Humectant
1. INCI y CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Función en la fórmula
This entry describes glycerin as a polyol humectant for gels, emulsions, and washes, with a guide level rather than a batch result.
3. Niveles de uso típicos (guía de formulación)
- Gels and serums: 3–8% in this reference.
- For creams, the reference gives 2–5% for the formula.
- For rinse-off, use 2–4% as a formulation guide.
Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.
4. Fuentes normativas y cumplimiento global
- CosIng may identify Glycerin as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
- The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
- For Glycerin, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.
5. Seguridad y evaluación de riesgos
Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; no drug approval or OTC-monograph status follows from this guide and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.
6. Estabilidad y envasado
Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.
7. Redacción de alegaciones (permitido / no permitido)
