Emollients & Humectants Material A

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

In cosmetic gels, emulsions, and washes, glycerin functions as a polyol humectant; its listed level is a guide.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for gels and serums: 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• The formulation record indicates 2–5% for creams in this reference.
• For rinse-off, the reference gives 2–4% for the formula.

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Glycerin appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Glycerin as a finished-product assessment.
• Establish grade-specific details for Glycerin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• This guide frames Glycerin's cosmetic direction around humectant function.

• The listed information cannot substantiate drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This reference for Glycerin offers no support for whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

In cosmetic formulas, 1,3-propanediol is used as a humectant and solvent. It is not a substitute name for propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Most water chassis may use the guide range 2–8% in this reference.

Add Propanediol to the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Propanediol does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Propanediol to undergo a safety assessment for the product in its final form.
• Review the documentation for the actual Propanediol grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Propanediol as part of a cosmetic direction focused on propanediol solvent.

• This formulation entry does not support drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• This guide to Propanediol does not demonstrate 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 reference gives 2–6%.
• The dry oils use-level reference is 10–30% in this reference.
• The level shown for balms is 5–15% as a formulation guide.

Add Squalane through the oil phase; no additional wax-processing shear step is called for.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Squalane provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Squalane to undergo a safety assessment for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Match the selected Squalane material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The stated concentration is a cosmetic-development reference; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Squalane highlights a light-emollient role.

• This formulation entry does not support drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• The ingredient record for Squalane does not substantiate whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.
