Mattifying Gel Cream Base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

The glycerin note covers its polyol-humectant role in washes, gels, and emulsions and gives a formulation guide level.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 3–8% for gels and serums for the formula.
• For creams, the recorded level is 2–5% in this reference.
• The level shown for rinse-off is 2–4% as a formulation guide.

Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Glycerin does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Glycerin is used, to be assessed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• For Glycerin, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Glycerin emphasizes humectant function.

• The development record is not evidence of therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The ingredient note for Glycerin does not establish skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

This cosmetic-formulation note assigns 1,3-propanediol humectant and solvent functions; the ingredient is not propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 2–8% for most water chassis as a formulation guide.

Add Propanediol to the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Propanediol as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the completed product containing Propanediol to receive its own safety assessment in the final product context.
• Establish grade-specific details for Propanediol from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Propanediol emphasizes propanediol solvent.

• The formulation note is not evidence of a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• This guide to Propanediol does not support whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulose · CAS: 9004-62-0

2. Role in the formula

HEC builds clear gels without a carbomer neutralization story.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gels: 0.3–0.8%.

Disperse in glycerin or water and hydrate fully.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Hydroxyethylcellulose as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Hydroxyethylcellulose before the finished product is marketed.
• Verify the purchased Hydroxyethylcellulose grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; the listed level does not itself confer drug or OTC status and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Hydroxyethylcellulose highlights clear-gel thickener.

• The ingredient record provides no basis for drug-treatment outcomes, clinical cures, or certifications not documented for the SKU.
• The documented facts for Hydroxyethylcellulose does not demonstrate whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.
