Humectant
1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Rôle dans la formule
Across cosmetic emulsions, washes, and gels, glycerin is listed as a polyol humectant; its amount is a development guide.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- For gels and serums, the reference gives 3–8%.
- The formulation record indicates 2–5% for creams.
- The rinse-off use-level reference is 2–4% as a formulation guide.

4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- If CosIng lists Glycerin, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
- EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic 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
Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies and patch and stability testing remain part of finished-product review.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; check the finished formula and its packaging together.
