Urea Softening Lotion

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Urea · CAS: 57-13-6

2. Role in the formula

Cosmetic urea guides often use about 2–10% for softness and higher levels only when the brief and the destination rules allow. This page does not claim a drug keratolytic.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 2–5% for lotions for the formula.
• The foot and heel creams use-level reference is 5–10% for the formula.
• 3–8% is listed for gels for the formula.

For dissolution, use water. Urea can drift pH; set the finished pH after addition.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Urea, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the completed product containing Urea to receive its own safety assessment before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Establish grade-specific details for Urea from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

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 so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; choose a package with oxidation sensitivity in view; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Urea is presented as urea softening.

• This product entry is not evidence of drug effects, clinical cures, or unsupported product certifications.
• The ingredient note for Urea does not demonstrate skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

For serums, gels, lotions, and washes, D-panthenol is presented as a water-soluble humectant. The stated amount is not an assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The serums and gels use-level reference is 1–5%.
• Creams and lotions may use the guide range 1–3%.
• The guide range for rinse-off washes is 0.5–2% for the formula.

Panthenol is water-soluble and should be added in cool-down; a typical leave-on pH is about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Panthenol appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Panthenol for the product in its final form.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Panthenol grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not establish drug approval or OTC-monograph status while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; evaluate packaging against the formula's susceptibility to oxidation; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Panthenol emphasizes comfort and humectant support.

• This reference does not substantiate drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The ingredient note for Panthenol does not substantiate skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

For emulsions, gels, and washes, this guide assigns glycerin a polyol-humectant role. Its level is not a batch assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Glycerin, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Establish grade-specific details for Glycerin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product with patch assessment and finished-formula stability testing still required.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; for oxidation-sensitive formulas, consider an airless or pump pack; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Glycerin highlights humectant function.

• This reference provides no basis for drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The ingredient record for Glycerin provides no basis for skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.
