softening body oil

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride · CAS: 73398-61-5

2. Role in the formula

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is used as a light oil in lotions, balms, and cleansing oils.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The lotions use-level reference is 3–8% for the formula.
• The formulation record indicates 20–60% for cleansing oils and balms for the formula.

Add Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to the oil phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• EU cosmetics rules under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require an assessment addressing the safety of the finished product that contains Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the final product context.
• Establish grade-specific details for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as part of a cosmetic direction focused on light-triglyceride.

• The ingredient guidance is not evidence of drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This guide to Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not demonstrate 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

As a hydrocarbon emollient, squalane offers stability; the grade in this guide is plant-derived rather than mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The gel-creams use-level reference is 2–6% as a formulation guide.
• Dry oils: 10–30% for the formula.
• For balms, the recorded level is 5–15% in this reference.

The oil phase is the addition point for Squalane, with no high-shear wax operation.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Squalane, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Squalane before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Squalane grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The percentage is shown for cosmetic development; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product so patch response and stability should be checked on the finished product.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• This ingredient reference does not demonstrate therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• This Squalane listing should not be used to substantiate whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil · CAS: 61789-91-1

2. Role in the formula

Jojoba oil is a liquid wax ester, not a triglyceride. It is used for slip in oils, balms and hair creams.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for creams is 1–5% in this reference.
• The formulation record indicates 10–30% for dry oils for the formula.

Use the oil phase to introduce Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• Before EU placement, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the complete cosmetic containing Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil to receive its own safety assessment rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil is presented as the jojoba wax-ester role.

• This ingredient reference is not evidence of drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The ingredient record for Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil cannot establish whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
