Nourishing Hand Cream

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)

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

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Glycerin; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Glycerin for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Confirm the actual Glycerin grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; 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 bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• The listed information cannot verify drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• This cosmetic entry naming Glycerin does not support a whitening effect, acne treatment, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

Squalane provides the referenced hydrocarbon-emollient role in a plant-derived grade; mineral oil is not part of this guide.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gel-creams, the recorded level is 2–6% as a formulation guide.
• 10–30% is listed for dry oils.
• Balms may use the guide range 5–15% as a formulation guide.

The guide places Squalane in the oil phase and calls for no high-shear wax processing.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Use CosIng's information on Squalane as a reference, then verify the specific grade and intended use under market rules.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Squalane to receive its own safety assessment rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Confirm the received Squalane grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; no drug approval or OTC-monograph status follows from this guide and the finished formula still needs patch and stability testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Squalane in this entry centers on a light-emollient role.

• The development record provides no basis for drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The information about Squalane provides no basis for whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter · CAS: 91080-23-8

2. Role in the formula

In creams, balms, and hair creams, shea butter is the cushion-providing triglyceride butter. No unrefined appearance or scent is specified.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For creams, the recorded level is 2–8%.
• 10–25% is listed for balms and butters in this reference.

For Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, use an oil-phase melt and shear during cool-down to limit grain formation.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• The framework in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the finished cosmetic containing Butyrospermum Parkii Butter in the final product context.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Butyrospermum Parkii Butter in a direction centered on shea cushion.

• This reference does not establish claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• The ingredient record for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not support whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.
