Soft Heel Balm

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 level shown for lotions is 2–5%.
• For foot and heel creams, the reference gives 5–10%.
• The stated reference for gels is 3–8% for the formula.

Dissolve in water. Urea can drift pH; set the finished pH after addition.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Urea 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 safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Urea for the completed formula, not simply for an ingredient in isolation.
• Confirm the actual Urea grade from supplier documentation and check requirements where the product will be sold.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; if oxidation risk calls for it, review a pump or airless format; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Urea highlights urea softening.

• The formulation note does not support medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The ingredient record for Urea should not be used to substantiate a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

In creams, balms, and hair creams, shea butter is the cushion-providing triglyceride butter. No unrefined appearance or scent is specified.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Formulation guidance for creams: 2–8%.
• The formulation record indicates 10–25% for balms and butters as a formulation guide.

The oil-phase melt for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter should be cooled under shear, which helps limit grain formation.

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.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Butyrospermum Parkii Butter as it will be marketed for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product and the completed formula still requires stability and patch testing.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The recorded cosmetic positioning for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter highlights shea cushion.

• The cosmetic listing is not evidence of drug or therapeutic claims, clinical cures, or certification claims not confirmed for the product.
• The documented facts for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter offers no support for whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant effects, sunscreen use, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

In lotions, balms, and cleansing oils, caprylic/capric triglyceride fills the light-oil role.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The lotions use-level reference is 3–8% in this reference.
• Cleansing oils and balms: 20–60% for the formula.

Incorporate Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the oil phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Database information on Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the finished cosmetic containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for the specific product as it will be marketed.
• Confirm the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade against supplier documentation, then verify the intended market's filing 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 final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk material sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; then verify formula stability and pack compatibility on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is presented as light-triglyceride.

• This ingredient reference does not establish drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The available details for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not establish a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.
