Mandelic Acid

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

Mandelic 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)

• Confirm the finished-formula level against the supplier TDS.

Refer to the supplier TDS for solvent, temperature and pH.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Mandelic Acid appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Mandelic Acid is used, to be assessed at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Confirm the actual Mandelic Acid grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• Names Mandelic Acid as a cosmetic ingredient on this SKU

• The cosmetic listing does not demonstrate drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The ingredient note for Mandelic Acid should not be used to substantiate skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Glycerin fills a polyol-humectant role in the listed cosmetic formats. Read its percentage as formulation guidance, not an assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• 3–8% is listed for gels and serums.
• Creams may use the guide range 2–5% as a formulation guide.
• 2–4% is listed for rinse-off.

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Glycerin, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Glycerin as it will be marketed rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Establish grade-specific details for Glycerin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Glycerin in a direction centered on humectant function.

• This ingredient reference is not evidence of drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The formulation record for Glycerin offers no support for whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

A plant-derived grade of squalane is specified here. It is a stable hydrocarbon emollient and is distinct from mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for gel-creams: 2–6%.
• For dry oils, the recorded level is 10–30% in this reference.
• Formulation guidance for balms: 5–15% for the formula.

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.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Squalane for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Confirm the received Squalane grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; this reference is not approval for drug use or OTC marketing so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• This formulation entry does not demonstrate medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The documented facts for Squalane does not demonstrate whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.
