Alpha Arbutin

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Alpha-Arbutin · CAS: 84380-01-8

2. Rôle dans la formule

Alpha-arbutin is the alpha anomer used in cosmetic tone-care guides, commonly around 0.5–2%. Do not describe it as hydroquinone and do not claim medical depigmentation.

3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)

• For serums, the reference gives 1–2%.
• For creams, use 0.5–2% in this reference.

For dissolution, use water. Prefer mildly acid to neutral pH and limit prolonged high heat.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• Treat any CosIng entry for Alpha-Arbutin as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Alpha-Arbutin at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Review the documentation for the actual Alpha-Arbutin grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Alpha-Arbutin centers on alpha-arbutin tone-care.

• This reference does not establish therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The information about Alpha-Arbutin should not be cited in support of whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Rôle dans la formule

Glycerin fills a polyol-humectant role in the listed cosmetic formats. Read its percentage as formulation guidance, not an assay.

3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)

• For gels and serums, the recorded level is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• The guide range for creams is 2–5%.
• The formulation record indicates 2–4% for rinse-off in this reference.

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• Treat any CosIng entry for Glycerin as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Glycerin before the finished product is marketed.
• For Glycerin, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)

• The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.

• The ingredient guidance cannot verify drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The documented facts for Glycerin should not be cited in support of whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen use, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Rôle dans la formule

The guide uses plant-derived squalane, a stable hydrocarbon emollient, and does not specify mineral oil.

3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)

• The formulation record indicates 2–6% for gel-creams in this reference.
• Dry oils may use the guide range 10–30% in this reference.
• Balms: 5–15% as a formulation guide.

Use the oil phase to introduce Squalane; a high-shear wax stage is not specified.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• If CosIng lists Squalane, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Squalane for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Squalane grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Squalane emphasizes a light-emollient role.

• The formulation note cannot substantiate drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The information about Squalane does not support whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.
