Menthol

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

Menthol 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)

• Set the use level from the supplier TDS for the finished formula.

Use the supplier TDS for solvent, temperature and pH.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Menthol provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Menthol for the product in its final form.
• For Menthol, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; the listed level does not itself confer drug or OTC status and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• Names Menthol as a cosmetic ingredient on this SKU

• The ingredient record does not establish therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• This cosmetic entry naming Menthol provides no basis for a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

This entry describes glycerin as a polyol humectant for gels, emulsions, and washes, with a guide level rather than a batch result.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gels and serums: 3–8% in this reference.
• The formulation record indicates 2–5% for creams as a formulation guide.
• The stated reference for rinse-off is 2–4%.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Glycerin, 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 of the complete cosmetic formula containing Glycerin for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Confirm the actual Glycerin grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies 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; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Glycerin is presented as humectant function.

• The development record does not demonstrate therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• This Glycerin listing provides no basis 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

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

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

The oil phase is the addition point for Squalane, with no high-shear wax operation.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Squalane appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Squalane for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Squalane grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

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; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Squalane centers on a light-emollient role.

• The listed information provides no basis for medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The cosmetic guidance for Squalane cannot verify a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.
