soothing and calming cream

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)

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

Add Glycerin in the water phase without melting it first.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• A CosIng entry naming Glycerin does not by itself approve the purchased grade or complete cosmetic.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Glycerin as it will be marketed before the cosmetic is placed on the EU market.
• Check the supplier's technical information for the Glycerin grade and confirm the relevant market filing list.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Read the recorded level as a cosmetic formulation guide; the note establishes neither drug approval nor OTC-monograph status with patch response and finished-product stability still to be verified.

6. Stability & packaging

Hold the bulk material in a sealed, cool place shielded from light; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; verify the chosen pack against the tested formula.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

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

• The ingredient guidance does not demonstrate therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The ingredient record for Glycerin offers no support for a whitening result, acne-treatment effect, antiperspirant use, sunscreen performance, 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)

• The guide range for gel-creams is 2–6% as a formulation guide.
• The formulation record indicates 10–30% for dry oils in this reference.
• The stated reference for balms is 5–15% in this reference.

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

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• If CosIng lists Squalane, that listing remains ingredient information; check rules for the intended market and use.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Squalane as it will be marketed as a finished-product assessment.
• Review the documentation for the actual Squalane grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The guide records a level for cosmetic formulation purposes; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Store the bulk in a closed container in a cool, shaded place; 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 cosmetic concept for Squalane in this entry centers on a light-emollient role.

• The ingredient guidance does not support drug effects, cures, or certification claims that go beyond the documented ingredient information.
• The ingredient record for Squalane is not evidence for skin whitening, acne care, sweat reduction, sun protection, or hair-growth outcomes.

1. INCI & CAS

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

2. Role in the formula

The reference uses shea butter for cushion in creams, balms, and hair creams. It does not assume the color or scent of an unrefined grade.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 2–8% for creams for the formula.
• For balms and butters, the reference gives 10–25% as a formulation guide.

The process note calls for melting Butyrospermum Parkii Butter into oil and cooling with shear so the butter does not grain.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• CosIng provides reference information for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter; confirm the specific grade and intended use against market requirements.
• For an EU-market product, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a product-level safety assessment for the complete formula that contains Butyrospermum Parkii Butter before release of the finished cosmetic.
• Review the documentation for the actual Butyrospermum Parkii Butter grade and the filing requirements for the target market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it provides no evidence that a drug or OTC monograph applies and patch and stability testing remain part of finished-product review.

6. Stability & packaging

Store sealed bulk away from heat and sunlight; review airless or pump options if oxidation presents a concern; check the finished formula and its packaging together.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The listed cosmetic direction for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter emphasizes shea cushion.

• This ingredient reference provides no basis for claims of drug action or cure, or a product certification outside the supporting records.
• The available details for Butyrospermum Parkii Butter cannot verify whitening, treatment of acne, perspiration control, sun protection, or hair growth.
