hydrating and moisturizing gel

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)

• For gels and serums, the reference gives 3–8% for the formula.
• Formulation guidance for creams: 2–5% as a formulation guide.
• For rinse-off, use 2–4% as a formulation guide.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Glycerin appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment before the finished product is marketed.
• Compare the received Glycerin material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Glycerin is presented as humectant function.

• The ingredient guidance does not establish claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• The ingredient record for Glycerin does not support whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.

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 guide range for most water chassis is 2–8% in this reference.

Route Propanediol through the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Propanediol as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Propanediol for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Propanediol and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Propanediol in a direction centered on propanediol solvent.

• This cosmetic guide does not establish therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The formulation record for Propanediol provides no basis for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, 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)

• The stated reference for gels is 0.3–0.8% in this reference.

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 a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Hydroxyethylcellulose to undergo a safety assessment in the final product context.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Hydroxyethylcellulose and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This formulation note gives a cosmetic-use reference level; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; confirm stability and pack fit with the final formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Hydroxyethylcellulose centers on clear-gel thickener.

• The development record does not substantiate drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The cosmetic guidance for Hydroxyethylcellulose cannot establish whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.
