Oil Control Serum Base

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Zinc PCA · CAS: 15454-75-8

2. Rôle dans la formule

Zinc PCA (zinc pidolate) is a water-soluble zinc salt used in cosmetic oil-balance guides. It is not an antibacterial drug claim.

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

• The stated reference for gels and scalp serums is 0.3–1% as a formulation guide.

For dissolution, use water. Check compatibility with anionic thickeners.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• A CosIng listing for Zinc PCA provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a safety evaluation of the product containing Zinc PCA as it will be marketed as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Confirm the received Zinc PCA grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

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

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Zinc PCA in a direction centered on zinc PCA balance.

• The development record cannot substantiate drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The available details for Zinc PCA does not support skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Niacinamide · CAS: 98-92-0

2. Rôle dans la formule

Niacinamide is widely used in leave-on cosmetic guides around 2–5%. This is not a drug monograph claim and not a whitening drug claim.

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

• The formulation record indicates 2–5% for serums.
• 2–4% is listed for gel-creams in this reference.
• The guide range for toners is 2–3% for the formula.

Dissolve in the water phase. Keep finished pH roughly 5–6.5 so it stays in the cosmetic range used by formulators.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• CosIng may identify Niacinamide as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Niacinamide as a finished-product assessment.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Niacinamide grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

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

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Niacinamide in a direction centered on niacinamide conditioning.

• This ingredient reference provides no basis for drug-treatment outcomes, clinical cures, or certifications not documented for the SKU.
• The ingredient note for Niacinamide cannot establish skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI et CAS

INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride · CAS: 73398-61-5

2. Rôle dans la formule

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is used as a light oil in lotions, balms, and cleansing oils.

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

• Formulation guidance for lotions: 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• 20–60% is listed for cleansing oils and balms.

Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to the oil phase.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• Database information on Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment addressing the safety of the finished product that contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the final product context.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride 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 is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization and patch and stability testing remain part of finished-product review.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

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

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride highlights light-triglyceride.

• The development record does not establish drug-treatment outcomes, clinical cures, or certifications not documented for the SKU.
• The Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride entry cannot verify whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
