Humectant
1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Rôle dans la formule
For emulsions, gels, and washes, this guide assigns glycerin a polyol-humectant role. Its level is not a batch assay.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- The stated reference for gels and serums is 3–8%.
- For creams, the reference gives 2–5% in this reference.
- For rinse-off, use 2–4%.
Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- If Glycerin appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
- For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment for the product in its final form.
- Review the supplier TDS for the received Glycerin grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.
5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques
This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
- The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.
- The cosmetic listing does not substantiate therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
- This reference for Glycerin provides no basis for a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
