overnight recovery cream

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Glycerin is a polyol humectant used in cosmetic emulsions, gels, and washes. The percentage shown is formulation guidance.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gels and serums, use 3–8% as a formulation guide.
• Creams may use the guide range 2–5% for the formula.
• The formulation record indicates 2–4% for rinse-off in this reference.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Database information on Glycerin does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used as a finished-product assessment.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Glycerin and review the destination market's requirements.

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 formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• The cosmetic listing cannot verify claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• The cosmetic guidance for Glycerin should not be cited in support of skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

A plant-derived grade of squalane is specified here. It is a stable hydrocarbon emollient and is distinct from mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gel-creams, the recorded level is 2–6% for the formula.
• 10–30% is listed for dry oils.
• For balms, use 5–15%.

Add Squalane to the oil phase; no high-shear wax step is required.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Squalane 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 finished product's safety, including the formula in which Squalane is used, to be assessed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Match the selected Squalane material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Squalane is presented as a light-emollient role.

• This ingredient reference provides no basis for therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• The formulation record for Squalane does not establish a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

The butter role is assigned to shea in creams, balms, and hair creams. The reference makes no assumption about unrefined color or scent.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The creams use-level reference is 2–8% in this reference.
• The guide range for balms and butters is 10–25% in this reference.

Melt the butter into oil and apply shear during cooling so Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not grain.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• Before EU placement, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Butyrospermum Parkii Butter to receive its own safety assessment for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Use the supplier TDS to confirm grade-specific details for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter and review the destination market's requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; no drug approval or OTC status is conferred by this entry so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter centers on shea cushion.

• The available ingredient details does not support drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• The formulation record for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter should not be cited in support of whitening effects, acne treatment, antiperspirant performance, sunscreen protection, or hair growth.
