dark spot care scrub

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Alpha-Arbutin · CAS: 84380-01-8

2. Role in the formula

Alpha-arbutin is the alpha anomer used in cosmetic tone-care guides, commonly around 0.5–2%. Do not describe it as hydroquinone and do not claim medical depigmentation.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The guide range for serums is 1–2%.
• Creams may use the guide range 0.5–2% for the formula.

For dissolution, use water. Prefer mildly acid to neutral pH and limit prolonged high heat.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Alpha-Arbutin does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Alpha-Arbutin to receive its own safety assessment for the product in its final form.
• Match the selected Alpha-Arbutin material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• This guide frames Alpha-Arbutin's cosmetic direction around alpha-arbutin tone-care.

• The ingredient record does not substantiate medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The ingredient record for Alpha-Arbutin is not evidence for skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate · CAS: 68797-35-3

2. Role in the formula

Dipotassium glycyrrhizate is the water-soluble salt of glycyrrhizic acid. The guide does not claim a drug anti-inflammatory effect.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• 0.1–0.5% is listed for serums and creams in this reference.

Dissolve in the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is used, to be assessed for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Compare the received Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate emphasizes licorice-salt comfort.

• The cosmetic listing provides no basis for drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The ingredient record for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate does not confirm whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Jojoba Esters · CAS: pending supplier / regulatory confirmation for the selected grade

2. Role in the formula

Jojoba esters are the hydrogenated or solid ester form used as a cosmetic scrub. They are not plastic beads. CAS depends on the ester cut.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 2–8% for scrubs in this reference.

Add after the emulsion is formed so the particles stay discrete.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Jojoba Esters, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Jojoba Esters as it will be marketed as a finished-product assessment.
• Verify the purchased Jojoba Esters grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Jojoba Esters is presented as jojoba-ester scrub.

• The ingredient record cannot substantiate therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• This Jojoba Esters listing does not support whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.
