smoothing and anti frizz toner

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

The listed glycerin role is that of a polyol humectant in cosmetic washes, gels, and emulsions; the amount is guidance only.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng may identify Glycerin as an ingredient, but its entry does not approve a material grade or finished formula.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require a safety review of the finished cosmetic in which Glycerin is used before release of the finished cosmetic.
• For Glycerin, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This entry provides guidance for cosmetic use only; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Maintain cool, closed, light-protected storage for the bulk material; take oxidation sensitivity into account when selecting the final pack; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The formulation note describes Glycerin as part of a cosmetic direction focused on humectant function.

• The available ingredient details provides no basis for therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The documented facts for Glycerin cannot establish skin whitening, treatment of acne, sweat control, UV protection, or hair-growth results.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

In cosmetic formulas, 1,3-propanediol is used as a humectant and solvent. It is not a substitute name for propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Most water chassis may use the guide range 2–8%.

Route Propanediol through the water phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng listing for Propanediol provides ingredient information, not approval of a supplied grade or finished product.
• For a cosmetic sold in the EU, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the finished product's safety, including the formula in which Propanediol is used, to be assessed for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• For Propanediol, check the purchased grade against its supplier TDS and review filing requirements in the destination market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; this reference is not approval for drug use or OTC marketing so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; consider an airless or pump format when oxidation sensitivity warrants it; check the finished batch's stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Propanediol emphasizes propanediol solvent.

• The listed information does not establish drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• This Propanediol listing cannot establish a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

This guide places water-soluble D-panthenol in serum, gel, lotion, and wash formulations; its level is a reference, not a measured batch value.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

For Panthenol, the note specifies water solubility, cool-down addition, and a typical leave-on pH of about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Panthenol does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for the complete cosmetic containing Panthenol to receive its own safety assessment in the final product context.
• Confirm the actual Panthenol grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The percentage is shown for cosmetic development; it makes no claim of drug or OTC authorization with patch and stability testing still needed for the completed formula.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Panthenol highlights comfort and humectant support.

• This ingredient reference does not establish drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The cosmetic guidance for Panthenol provides no basis for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen use, or hair-growth outcomes.
