INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Rôle dans la formule
The glycerin note covers its polyol-humectant role in washes, gels, and emulsions and gives a formulation guide level.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- For gels and serums, the recorded level is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
- For creams, use 2–5% for the formula.
- Rinse-off may use the guide range 2–4% as a formulation guide.
Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- The CosIng record for Glycerin, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
- The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the complete cosmetic containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment before the finished product is marketed.
- Review the documentation for the actual Glycerin grade and the filing requirements for the target market.
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 with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
- The cosmetic role of Glycerin is presented as humectant function.
- The development record does not support drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
- The information about Glycerin cannot verify whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.
