hydrating facial toner

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)

• For gels and serums, the recorded level is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• The formulation record indicates 2–5% for creams as a formulation guide.
• Formulation guidance for rinse-off: 2–4%.

Use the water phase to introduce Glycerin; no melting stage is required.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Glycerin as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Glycerin for the product in its final form.
• Match the selected Glycerin material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Glycerin in a direction centered on humectant function.

• The listed information does not demonstrate therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The documented facts for Glycerin does not establish whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen use, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

The reference uses 1,3-propanediol for humectant and solvent roles in cosmetic formulas; it does not mean propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Most water chassis: 2–8% for the formula.

Incorporate Propanediol in the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Use CosIng's information on Propanediol as a reference, then verify the specific grade and intended use under market rules.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Propanediol to undergo a safety assessment before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Confirm the received Propanediol grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Propanediol highlights propanediol solvent.

• The ingredient guidance provides no basis for therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The documented facts for Propanediol provides no basis for a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

The reference describes D-panthenol as a water-soluble humectant for serums, gels, lotions, and washes. Its level is not a batch test result.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for serums and gels is 1–5% for the formula.
• The stated reference for creams and lotions is 1–3%.
• The level shown for rinse-off washes is 0.5–2%.

The guide describes Panthenol as water-soluble, directs addition in cool-down, and gives typical leave-on pH as about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Panthenol, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Panthenol to undergo a safety assessment for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Confirm the actual Panthenol grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; this reference is not approval for drug use or OTC marketing and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Panthenol is presented as comfort and humectant support.

• The listed information does not establish drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This Panthenol listing does not confirm whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
