Tone Correcting Emulsion Base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Cosmetic washes, gels, and emulsions use glycerin in a polyol-humectant role; the listed level is for formulation development.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gels and serums may use the guide range 3–8% in this reference.
• The creams use-level reference is 2–5%.
• For rinse-off, the reference gives 2–4% for the formula.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Glycerin, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for the complete cosmetic containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment before the finished product is marketed.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Glycerin and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.

• This cosmetic guide does not substantiate drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• This Glycerin listing cannot verify whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

Squalane provides the referenced hydrocarbon-emollient role in a plant-derived grade; mineral oil is not part of this guide.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gel-creams: 2–6%.
• Dry oils may use the guide range 10–30% in this reference.
• The level shown for balms is 5–15% in this reference.

Add Squalane through the oil phase; no additional wax-processing shear step is called for.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Squalane as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Squalane before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Review the documentation for the actual Squalane grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Squalane in a direction centered on a light-emollient role.

• The ingredient record does not support therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The ingredient record for Squalane does not 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

Lotions, balms, and cleansing oils are the formats where this guide assigns caprylic/capric triglyceride a light-oil role.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 3–8% for lotions.
• For cleansing oils and balms, the recorded level is 20–60% in this reference.

Use the oil phase to introduce Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment covering the complete formulation with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• For Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and patch and stability testing remain part of finished-product review.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as part of a cosmetic direction focused on light-triglyceride.

• This formulation entry does not establish drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This guide to Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride cannot verify whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.
