Guar Gum

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

Guar Gum 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)

• Follow the supplier TDS for the finished formula's use range.

Check the supplier TDS for solvent, temperature and pH.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Guar Gum, 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 Guar Gum as a finished-product assessment.
• Verify the purchased Guar Gum grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing 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; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• Names Guar Gum as a cosmetic ingredient on this SKU

• The ingredient record does not substantiate claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• The Guar Gum entry does not establish whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Glycerin serves as the polyol humectant in these cosmetic formats, while the stated percentage remains a formulation reference.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The guide range for gels and serums is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• Formulation guidance for creams: 2–5% as a formulation guide.
• For rinse-off, use 2–4% as a formulation guide.

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Glycerin does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Glycerin and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Glycerin in this entry centers on humectant function.

• The ingredient record does not support claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• This reference for Glycerin does not establish 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

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

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

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.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety evaluation of the product containing Squalane as it will be marketed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Compare the received Squalane material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• This guide frames Squalane's cosmetic direction around a light-emollient role.

• The ingredient guidance provides no basis for claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• The formulation record for Squalane should not be cited in support of whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.
