Glycerin
Humectant
1. INCI et CAS
INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5
2. Rôle dans la formule
The listed glycerin role is that of a polyol humectant in cosmetic washes, gels, and emulsions; the amount is guidance only.
3. Niveaux d'emploi typiques (repère de formulation)
- The guide range for gels and serums is 3–8% in this reference.
- The guide range for creams is 2–5% for the formula.
- For rinse-off, use 2–4% for the formula.
The water phase is the addition point for Glycerin; a separate melt is unnecessary.
4. Sources réglementaires et conformité mondiale
- CosIng may identify Glycerin as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
- The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used before release of the finished cosmetic.
- For Glycerin, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.
5. Sécurité et évaluation des risques
This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.
6. Stabilité et conditionnement
Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.
7. Formulations d'allégations (à faire / à éviter)
- The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.
- The available ingredient details provides no basis for therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
- The documented facts for Glycerin cannot establish skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.
