soothing and repair hair care base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

This entry describes glycerin as a polyol humectant for gels, emulsions, and washes, with a guide level rather than a batch result.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The level shown for gels and serums is 3–8% in this reference.
• For creams, use 2–5% for the formula.
• 2–4% is listed for rinse-off as a formulation guide.

The water phase is the addition point for Glycerin; a separate melt is unnecessary.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Glycerin does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require the completed product containing Glycerin to receive its own safety assessment for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Glycerin grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; no drug approval or OTC status is conferred by this entry with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect sealed bulk from warmth and direct light; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• This guide frames Glycerin's cosmetic direction around humectant function.

• The formulation note does not substantiate therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The cosmetic guidance for Glycerin does not support whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Squalane · CAS: 111-01-3

2. Role in the formula

The guide uses plant-derived squalane, a stable hydrocarbon emollient, and does not specify mineral oil.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

Incorporate Squalane in the oil phase without a separate high-shear wax step.

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.
• 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 for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Squalane grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic formulation concept for Squalane centers on a light-emollient role.

• The formulation note cannot substantiate claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• The available details for Squalane should not be used to substantiate 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

Shea butter is the triglyceride butter used for cushion in creams, balms, and hair creams. The guide does not assume an unrefined color or scent.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The stated reference for creams is 2–8% for the formula.
• For balms and butters, the recorded level is 10–25% as a formulation guide.

Melt into the oil phase and continue shear through cooling to help keep Butyrospermum Parkii Butter from becoming grainy.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Treat any CosIng entry for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter as a reference only; verify the grade and intended use under current market rules.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Butyrospermum Parkii Butter is used at the level of the finished cosmetic product.
• Verify the purchased Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade using supplier data, alongside the applicable filing rules for the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Butyrospermum Parkii Butter as part of a cosmetic direction focused on shea cushion.

• This formulation entry does not demonstrate medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The formulation record for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter does not establish a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.
