nourishing conditioner

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.
• For creams, use 2–5% for the formula.
• Rinse-off may use the guide range 2–4% as a formulation guide.

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.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the complete cosmetic containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment before the finished product is marketed.
• Review the documentation for the actual Glycerin grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Glycerin is presented as humectant function.

• The development record does not support drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The information about Glycerin cannot verify whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

A plant-derived grade of squalane is specified here. It is a stable hydrocarbon emollient and is distinct from mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for gel-creams is 2–6% as a formulation guide.
• The guide range for dry oils is 10–30% as a formulation guide.
• The formulation record indicates 5–15% for balms for the formula.

Use the oil phase to introduce Squalane; a high-shear wax stage is not specified.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Squalane does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Squalane is used, to be assessed for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Squalane grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Squalane is presented as a light-emollient role.

• The formulation note is not evidence of therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• This guide to Squalane provides no basis for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter · CAS: 91080-23-8

2. Role in the formula

Shea butter is the triglyceride butter used for cushion in creams, balms, and hair creams. The guide does not assume an unrefined color or scent.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For creams, the recorded level is 2–8% for the formula.
• For balms and butters, the recorded level is 10–25% in this reference.

Melt Butyrospermum Parkii Butter with the oil phase; keep shear during cooling to help prevent a grainy butter texture.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• An entry for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter in CosIng is not authorization for a material grade or completed cosmetic; review local requirements.
• The framework in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Butyrospermum Parkii Butter to receive its own safety assessment before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Match the selected Butyrospermum Parkii Butter material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Butyrospermum Parkii Butter as part of a cosmetic direction focused on shea cushion.

• This cosmetic guide cannot verify a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The ingredient note for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not establish whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
