dark spot care body moisturizers

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)

• Formulation guidance for serums: 1–2% as a formulation guide.
• The stated reference for creams is 0.5–2% for the formula.

Dissolve in water. Use mildly acid to neutral pH and avoid prolonged high heat.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Alpha-Arbutin provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the completed product containing Alpha-Arbutin to receive its own safety assessment for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Confirm the actual Alpha-Arbutin grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Alpha-Arbutin is presented as alpha-arbutin tone-care.

• The formulation note does not demonstrate a drug effect, a clinical cure, or certification status not established for the SKU.
• The Alpha-Arbutin entry cannot establish 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)

• For serums and creams, the reference gives 0.1–0.5% as a formulation guide.

Dissolve into the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the finished cosmetic containing Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; this reference is not approval for drug use or OTC marketing with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; assess the confirmed formula for stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate centers on licorice-salt comfort.

• This formulation entry does not substantiate drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The ingredient note for Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate does not confirm skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

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)

• The level shown for gels and serums is 3–8%.
• For creams, the recorded level is 2–5%.
• The formulation record indicates 2–4% for rinse-off as a formulation guide.

Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Glycerin does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Glycerin in the final product context.
• Verify the purchased Glycerin grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Glycerin centers on humectant function.

• The ingredient record is not evidence of claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• This reference for Glycerin cannot verify a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.
