Emollients & Humectants Material B

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)

• The guide range for gels and serums is 3–8%.
• The creams use-level reference is 2–5% in this reference.
• The guide range for rinse-off is 2–4% for the formula.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Glycerin; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the finished cosmetic containing Glycerin as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Glycerin grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.

• This product entry is not evidence of drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The available details for Glycerin should not be cited in support of a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

Use the identity 1,3-propanediol for the listed humectant/solvent role. The guide does not call for propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• 2–8% is listed for most water chassis as a formulation guide.

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.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Propanediol is used, to be assessed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Confirm the received Propanediol grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; 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 appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Propanediol in this entry centers on propanediol solvent.

• The ingredient record does not support therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The documented facts for Propanediol is not evidence for skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

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)

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

Incorporate Squalane in the oil phase without a separate high-shear wax step.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Squalane as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• The framework in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Squalane to undergo a safety assessment before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Squalane grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• This cosmetic guide does not substantiate therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• This guide to Squalane should not be cited in support of skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.
