Glycerin
Humectant
1. INCI et CAS
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 reference gives 3–8%.
- For creams, the recorded level is 2–5% as a formulation guide.
- The stated reference for rinse-off is 2–4% as a formulation guide.
The guide places Glycerin in the water phase and calls for no melt step.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- Use CosIng's information on Glycerin as a reference, then verify the specific grade and intended use under market rules.
- Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a safety assessment covering the complete formulation with Glycerin as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
- Review the documentation for the actual Glycerin grade and the filing requirements for the target market.
5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques
The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
- The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.
- The formulation note does not demonstrate drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
- The formulation record for Glycerin cannot establish whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
