Micro Polish Gel Base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Across cosmetic emulsions, washes, and gels, glycerin is listed as a polyol humectant; its amount is a development guide.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gels and serums, the recorded level is 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• The level shown for creams is 2–5% in this reference.
• Rinse-off may use the guide range 2–4% for the formula.

Add Glycerin to the water phase; no separate melt step is needed.

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 the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Glycerin is used, to be assessed for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Match the selected Glycerin material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• This cosmetic guide is not evidence of medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• This Glycerin listing cannot verify 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

Use the identity 1,3-propanediol for the listed humectant/solvent role. The guide does not call for propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The most water chassis use-level reference is 2–8% in this reference.

The guide places Propanediol in the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Propanediol as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Propanediol to receive its own safety assessment before release of the finished cosmetic.
• 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; no drug approval or OTC status is conferred by this entry while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Propanediol in this entry centers on propanediol solvent.

• The available ingredient details does not demonstrate claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• This cosmetic entry naming Propanediol cannot establish whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulose · CAS: 9004-62-0

2. Role in the formula

HEC builds clear gels without a carbomer neutralization story.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gels, use 0.3–0.8% for the formula.

Disperse in glycerin or water and hydrate fully.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Database information on Hydroxyethylcellulose does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Hydroxyethylcellulose as it will be marketed as part of the finished cosmetic's safety documentation.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Hydroxyethylcellulose grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; no drug approval or OTC-monograph status follows from this guide so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• This guide frames Hydroxyethylcellulose's cosmetic direction around clear-gel thickener.

• The formulation note does not demonstrate drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• This Hydroxyethylcellulose listing cannot verify a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
