Calming Water Gel Base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

Glycerin serves as the polyol humectant in these cosmetic formats, while the stated percentage remains a formulation reference.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

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

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng information about Glycerin does not itself authorize a particular grade or finished cosmetic.
• EU market placement 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.
• Match the selected Glycerin material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Treat the listed amount as cosmetic-development guidance; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Glycerin in a direction centered on humectant function.

• This ingredient reference does not establish drug claims, cure claims, or a certification that is absent from the product records.
• The ingredient note for Glycerin offers no support for a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Propanediol · CAS: 504-63-2

2. Role in the formula

For cosmetic formulation, 1,3-propanediol is identified as a humectant and solvent, not as propylene glycol.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The stated reference for most water chassis is 2–8% as a formulation guide.

Use the water phase to introduce Propanediol.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If Propanediol appears in CosIng, its entry is informational and does not approve a specific grade or finished cosmetic.
• For cosmetics placed on the EU market, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Propanediol to undergo a safety assessment for the product in its final form.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Propanediol grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; no drug approval or OTC-monograph status follows from this guide so the finished cosmetic should receive patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Protect the sealed bulk from heat, sun, and unnecessary exposure; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; confirm final stability and pack compatibility on a representative batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Propanediol in this entry centers on propanediol solvent.

• The formulation note is not evidence of claims of drug activity, a clinical cure, or an undocumented product certification.
• The documented facts for Propanediol does not support skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulose · CAS: 9004-62-0

2. Role in the formula

HEC builds clear gels without a carbomer neutralization story.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The stated reference for gels is 0.3–0.8% as a formulation guide.

Disperse in glycerin or water and hydrate fully.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Hydroxyethylcellulose; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• The finished-product provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 require an assessment of the safety of the final cosmetic containing Hydroxyethylcellulose for the complete formula intended for sale.
• Establish grade-specific details for Hydroxyethylcellulose from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

This level is a cosmetic-formulation guide; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; where appropriate, assess an airless or pump pack for oxidation-sensitive systems; confirm compatibility and stability using the selected formula and pack.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Hydroxyethylcellulose emphasizes clear-gel thickener.

• The development record is not evidence of therapeutic effects, curative outcomes, or unsupported certification statements.
• The information about Hydroxyethylcellulose cannot verify skin whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant use, sun protection, or hair growth.
