Ascorbic Acid

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Ascorbic Acid · CAS: pending supplier / regulatory confirmation for the selected grade

2. Role in the formula

Ascorbic Acid is carried as a named cosmetic ingredient for this SKU. Identity, assay and impurities are confirmed on the supplier TDS and COA. This page does not invent a CAS or a drug effect.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Use the supplier's stated range when setting the finished formula level.

Use the supplier TDS for solvent, temperature and pH.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Ascorbic Acid, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Ascorbic Acid is used, to be assessed as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Match the selected Ascorbic Acid material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; the listed level does not itself confer drug or OTC status so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• Names Ascorbic Acid as a cosmetic ingredient on this SKU

• The ingredient record cannot substantiate drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This cosmetic entry naming Ascorbic Acid does not confirm whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

The listed glycerin role is that of a polyol humectant in cosmetic washes, gels, and emulsions; the amount is guidance only.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The guide range for gels and serums is 3–8% for the formula.
• For creams, the reference gives 2–5% as a formulation guide.
• The level shown for rinse-off is 2–4% as a formulation guide.

Use the water phase to introduce Glycerin; no melting stage is required.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Glycerin as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Establish grade-specific details for Glycerin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.

• This cosmetic guide does not demonstrate a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The cosmetic guidance for Glycerin offers no support for whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

Squalane is a stable hydrocarbon emollient. The referenced grade is plant-derived, with mineral oil excluded.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for gel-creams is 2–6% for the formula.
• The formulation record indicates 10–30% for dry oils as a formulation guide.
• Balms: 5–15%.

The guide places Squalane in the oil phase and calls for no high-shear wax processing.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Squalane, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment addressing the safety of the finished product that contains Squalane before the finished product is marketed.
• Review the documentation for the actual Squalane grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Squalane as part of a cosmetic direction focused on a light-emollient role.

• The ingredient guidance does not substantiate drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• This reference for Squalane offers no support for whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.
