repair and strengthening conditioner

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)

• For gels and serums, use 3–8%.
• For creams, use 2–5%.
• Formulation guidance for rinse-off: 2–4%.

The guide places Glycerin in the water phase and calls for no melt step.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Glycerin as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Glycerin as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Glycerin and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• This ingredient reference provides no basis for drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This cosmetic entry naming Glycerin does not confirm a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, 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 gel-creams use-level reference is 2–6% in this reference.
• For dry oils, the reference gives 10–30% for the formula.
• The formulation record indicates 5–15% for balms as a formulation guide.

The oil phase is the addition point for Squalane, with no high-shear wax operation.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• An entry for Squalane in CosIng is not authorization for a material grade or completed cosmetic; review local requirements.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Squalane for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Compare the received Squalane material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization 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; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Squalane emphasizes a light-emollient role.

• This cosmetic guide is not evidence of drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• This guide to Squalane does not establish skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

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)

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

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Butyrospermum Parkii Butter as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is used, to be assessed for the product in its final form.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; this reference is not approval for drug use or OTC marketing with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter in this entry centers on shea cushion.

• This reference provides no basis for therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• The ingredient note for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter offers no support for whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
