1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

This entry describes glycerin as a polyol humectant for gels, emulsions, and washes, with a guide level rather than a batch result.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- For gels and serums, the reference gives 3–8% in this reference.
- The stated reference for creams is 2–5% in this reference.
- The rinse-off use-level reference is 2–4%.

The percentage is shown for cosmetic development; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.
