oil control hair care 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 gels and scalp serums use-level reference is 0.3–1%.

Dissolve in 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.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Zinc PCA for the product in its final form.
• Establish grade-specific details for Zinc PCA from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

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

• The listed cosmetic direction for Zinc PCA emphasizes zinc PCA balance.

• The cosmetic listing is not evidence of therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The formulation record for Zinc PCA does not establish whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.

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)

• Serums may use the guide range 2–5% for the formula.
• Gel-creams: 2–4% in this reference.
• Toners: 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

• If Niacinamide appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Niacinamide before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Verify the purchased Niacinamide grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques

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

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

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

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

• The cosmetic listing does not substantiate claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• The Niacinamide entry cannot verify whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI et CAS

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

2. Rôle dans la formule

For light-oil use in lotions, balms, and cleansing oils, the reference lists caprylic/capric triglyceride.

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

• Formulation guidance for lotions: 3–8% for the formula.
• The stated reference for cleansing oils and balms is 20–60%.

The guide places Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the oil phase.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale

• The CosIng record for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as it will be marketed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• 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

The percentage is shown for cosmetic development; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stabilité et conditionnement

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

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

• The formulation note describes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as part of a cosmetic direction focused on light-triglyceride.

• This product entry does not establish drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The information about Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not support whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
