Blemish And Oil Control Cleanser

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Salicylic Acid · CAS: 69-72-7

2. Role in the formula

Salicylic acid is restricted by market. This guide uses 0.5% as a cosmetic starting point and does not claim OTC acne treatment, a peel, or a medical indication.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Rinse-off clarifiers: confirm the market cap as a formulation guide.
• For leave-on, use only inside the destination limit, guide start 0.5% as a formulation guide.

Pre-dissolve in a suitable solvent or a hot water phase as the TDS allows. Confirm EU, US and China limits before filing.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Salicylic Acid as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Salicylic Acid for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• For Salicylic Acid, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Salicylic Acid is presented as low-level BHA clarifying.

• The development record provides no basis for drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• This cosmetic entry naming Salicylic Acid does not demonstrate skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Zinc PCA · CAS: 15454-75-8

2. Role in the formula

Zinc PCA (zinc pidolate) is a water-soluble zinc salt used in cosmetic oil-balance guides. It is not an antibacterial drug claim.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The guide range for gels and scalp serums is 0.3–1% in this reference.

Dissolve in water. Check compatibility with anionic thickeners.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Zinc PCA provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety assessment covering the complete formulation with Zinc PCA in the final product context.
• Establish grade-specific details for Zinc PCA from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; 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

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Zinc PCA in this entry centers on zinc PCA balance.

• The ingredient record cannot substantiate drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• The formulation record for Zinc PCA does not confirm skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Decyl Glucoside · CAS: 68515-73-1

2. Role in the formula

Decyl glucoside supplies the mild nonionic-surfactant role in a sulfate-free primary cleansing system.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Washes: 4–10% active. Confirm the supplied activity.

The guide places Decyl Glucoside in the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Decyl Glucoside as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Decyl Glucoside to receive its own safety assessment as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Confirm the actual Decyl Glucoside grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Decyl Glucoside in this entry centers on a sugar-based surfactant role.

• This cosmetic guide cannot verify claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• This Decyl Glucoside listing cannot establish a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.
