Blemish And Oil Control Face Exfoliants

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 for the formula.
• Formulation guidance for leave-on: only inside the destination limit, guide start 0.5%.

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

• The CosIng record for Salicylic Acid, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Salicylic Acid to receive its own safety assessment before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Salicylic Acid grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; the listed level does not itself confer drug or OTC status with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Salicylic Acid highlights low-level BHA clarifying.

• The ingredient record does not demonstrate medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The available details for Salicylic Acid should not be used to substantiate skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

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)

• For gels and scalp serums, the recorded level is 0.3–1% in this reference.

Dissolve into water. Check compatibility with anionic thickeners.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Zinc PCA does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Zinc PCA as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• For Zinc PCA, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; no drug approval or OTC status is conferred by this entry with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Zinc PCA in a direction centered on zinc PCA balance.

• The listed information provides no basis for a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The ingredient note for Zinc PCA should not be used to substantiate a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride · CAS: 73398-61-5

2. Role in the formula

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is the referenced light oil across lotions, balms, and cleansing oils.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for lotions: 3–8% for the formula.
• For cleansing oils and balms, the reference gives 20–60% for the formula.

Route Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride through the oil phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• Before EU placement, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as it will be marketed at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; the listed level does not itself confer drug or OTC status while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is presented as light-triglyceride.

• The cosmetic listing does not support drug-treatment outcomes, clinical cures, or certifications not documented for the SKU.
• This guide to Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not demonstrate skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.
