eye care face base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Caffeine · CAS: 58-08-2

2. Role in the formula

Caffeine is used around 0.2–1% in cosmetic eye gels. This page does not claim a medical eye treatment.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for eye gels and serums: 0.2–1% in this reference.

Dissolve into water.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Caffeine does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Caffeine to receive its own safety assessment before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Verify the purchased Caffeine grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Caffeine is presented as caffeine eye-care.

• This product entry is not evidence of therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• This cosmetic entry naming Caffeine cannot establish whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

Across serums, gels, lotions, and washes, D-panthenol serves as a water-soluble humectant; the percentage is guidance rather than an assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For serums and gels, the reference gives 1–5%.
• Formulation guidance for creams and lotions: 1–3% in this reference.
• The level shown for rinse-off washes is 0.5–2%.

Add this water-soluble ingredient, Panthenol, during cool-down. The typical leave-on pH is about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Panthenol does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Panthenol in the final product context.
• Establish grade-specific details for Panthenol from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Panthenol in this entry centers on comfort and humectant support.

• This cosmetic guide provides no basis for therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The Panthenol entry offers no support for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

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, the reference gives 3–8% in this reference.
• The level shown for creams is 2–5% for the formula.
• For rinse-off, the recorded level is 2–4% in this reference.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Glycerin, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Glycerin as it will be marketed before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Establish grade-specific details for Glycerin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Glycerin highlights humectant function.

• The ingredient guidance does not establish drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• The ingredient record for Glycerin should not be used to substantiate a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
