Sensitive Skin Lotion Base

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

The reference uses glycerin as a polyol humectant across washes, gels, and emulsions. Treat the percentage as development guidance.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The guide range for gels and serums is 3–8% in this reference.
• The stated reference for creams is 2–5% in this reference.
• 2–4% is listed for rinse-off in this reference.

Use the water phase to introduce Glycerin; no melting stage is required.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Glycerin; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• EU market placement under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires the final cosmetic with Glycerin to undergo a safety assessment before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Use current supplier documentation for the purchased Glycerin grade and verify applicable destination-market filings.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The listed use rate is intended as a cosmetic-development guide; it should not be read as a drug authorization or OTC listing and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Use cool, sealed storage away from strong light for the bulk; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic role of Glycerin is presented as humectant function.

• The ingredient guidance cannot substantiate medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The ingredient record for Glycerin does not demonstrate 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

Squalane provides the referenced hydrocarbon-emollient role in a plant-derived grade; mineral oil is not part of this guide.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For gel-creams, the reference gives 2–6% as a formulation guide.
• The guide range for dry oils is 10–30% as a formulation guide.
• 5–15% is listed for balms for the formula.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Squalane; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 sets the requirement for a safety evaluation of the product containing Squalane as it will be marketed rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Compare the received Squalane material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

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

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; if the formula is oxidation-sensitive, an airless or pump format may be considered; test the selected package with the confirmed batch for stability and fit.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• The development record does not establish therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The available details for Squalane should not be used to substantiate whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is used as a light oil in lotions, balms, and cleansing oils.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For lotions, use 3–8%.
• For cleansing oils and balms, the recorded level is 20–60%.

Incorporate Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride in the oil phase.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• An EU-market cosmetic under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the finished cosmetic containing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride for the product in its final form.
• Review the supplier TDS for the received Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride grade, together with the target market's current filing requirements.

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 and the final formula should undergo patch and stability assessment.

6. Stability & packaging

For bulk storage, avoid warmth and direct sun and keep the container closed; 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 cosmetic role of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is presented as light-triglyceride.

• The ingredient record cannot verify drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• This cosmetic entry naming Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride does not demonstrate whitening, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen use, or hair-growth outcomes.
