Squalane

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 stated reference for gel-creams is 2–6% in this reference.
• The guide range for dry oils is 10–30% as a formulation guide.
• For balms, use 5–15% in this reference.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Squalane; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Squalane as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Confirm the actual Squalane grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Squalane in a direction centered on a light-emollient role.

• This reference provides no basis for drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This Squalane listing does not confirm whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen use, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

The glycerin note covers its polyol-humectant role in washes, gels, and emulsions and gives a formulation guide level.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gels and serums: 3–8% for the formula.
• The guide range for creams is 2–5% as a formulation guide.
• The rinse-off use-level reference is 2–4% as a formulation guide.

Add Glycerin to the water phase; no separate melt step is needed.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• An entry for Glycerin in CosIng is not authorization for a material grade or completed cosmetic; review local requirements.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment covering the complete formulation with Glycerin as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Glycerin and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Glycerin emphasizes humectant function.

• The ingredient record is not evidence of drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This Glycerin listing is not evidence for a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

In creams, balms, and hair creams, shea butter is the cushion-providing triglyceride butter. No unrefined appearance or scent is specified.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For creams, the reference gives 2–8%.
• Balms and butters may use the guide range 10–25%.

Use a melted oil-phase addition for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, followed by shear during cooling to limit grains.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is used at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Verify the purchased Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter emphasizes shea cushion.

• This formulation entry does not support drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The information about Butyrospermum Parkii Butter cannot establish whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
