Shea Butter

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter · CAS: 91080-23-8

2. Role in the formula

The reference uses shea butter for cushion in creams, balms, and hair creams. It does not assume the color or scent of an unrefined grade.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The creams use-level reference is 2–8% for the formula.
• Balms and butters may use the guide range 10–25%.

The listed method melts Butyrospermum Parkii Butter into oil and maintains shear as the blend cools to reduce graining.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Butyrospermum Parkii Butter appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Butyrospermum Parkii Butter to receive its own safety assessment for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Confirm the received Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Butyrospermum Parkii Butter in a direction centered on shea cushion.

• This cosmetic guide provides no basis for a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The ingredient note for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter should not be cited in support of a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride · CAS: 73398-61-5

2. Role in the formula

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is the referenced light oil across lotions, balms, and cleansing oils.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The stated reference for lotions is 3–8%.
• For cleansing oils and balms, use 20–60% for the formula.

Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to the oil phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment addressing the safety of the finished product that contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Confirm the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in a direction centered on light-triglyceride.

• The ingredient guidance cannot substantiate drug-treatment outcomes, clinical cures, or certifications not documented for the SKU.
• The cosmetic guidance for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride should not be cited in support of whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

The guide uses plant-derived squalane, a stable hydrocarbon emollient, and does not specify mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• 2–6% is listed for gel-creams as a formulation guide.
• The guide range for dry oils is 10–30% for the formula.
• For balms, the recorded level is 5–15% as a formulation guide.

Add Squalane to the oil phase; no high-shear wax step is required.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Squalane, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment covering the complete formulation with Squalane as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Match the selected Squalane material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The percentage is shown for cosmetic development; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Squalane in this entry centers on a light-emollient role.

• The development record provides no basis for drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• This cosmetic entry naming Squalane cannot verify skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.
