Kaolin
1. INCI & CAS
INCI: Kaolin · CAS: 1332-58-7
2. Role in the formula
Kaolin's listed identity is hydrated aluminum silicate, used here as a cosmetic clay rather than for a drug-absorbent claim.
3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)
- For masks, the recorded level is 5–20%.
- For scrubs, use 2–8% in this reference.
Wet the clay before adding to a gum phase to limit clumps.
4. Regulatory sources & global compliance
- If Kaolin appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
- The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Kaolin as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
- Establish grade-specific details for Kaolin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.
5. Safety & risk assessment
The stated concentration is a cosmetic-development reference; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.
6. Stability & packaging
Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.
