Glycerin
Humectant
1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Rôle dans la formule
Cosmetic washes, gels, and emulsions use glycerin in a polyol-humectant role; the listed level is for formulation development.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- The level shown for gels and serums is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
- Creams: 2–5% in this reference.
- For rinse-off, use 2–4% as a formulation guide.
The water phase is the addition point for Glycerin; a separate melt is unnecessary.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- A CosIng entry naming Glycerin does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
- Before EU placement, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Glycerin to undergo a safety assessment for the specific product as it will be marketed.
- 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 formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
