soothing and calming face masks

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Kaolin · CAS: 1332-58-7

2. Role in the formula

Kaolin is the cosmetic clay in this reference. Its hydrated-aluminum-silicate identity does not support a drug-absorbent claim.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• The formulation record indicates 5–20% for masks in this reference.
• For scrubs, use 2–8% for the formula.

Wet the clay before adding to a gum phase to limit clumps.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• The CosIng record for Kaolin, where listed, is informational rather than product-specific authorization.
• The EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires an assessment addressing the safety of the finished product that contains Kaolin before the finished product is marketed.
• Establish grade-specific details for Kaolin from the supplier and assess filing requirements in the intended market.

5. Safety & risk assessment

Use the stated level as reference guidance for cosmetic formulation; it is not evidence of drug approval or OTC authorization while finished-product patch and stability testing remain necessary.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the ingredient in cool, closed bulk storage away from sunlight; select packaging with the formula's oxidation sensitivity in mind; follow with stability and packaging checks on the confirmed batch.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Kaolin in this entry centers on kaolin clay.

• The ingredient guidance does not support medical outcomes, cure language, or a product certification not supported by the available facts.
• The documented facts for Kaolin does not demonstrate a skin-lightening result, acne treatment, antiperspirant action, sunscreen efficacy, or hair growth.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Glycerin · CAS: 56-81-5

2. Role in the formula

As a polyol humectant, glycerin is used in cosmetic emulsions, gels, and washes. The recorded percentage is not a measured batch value.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• Gels and serums may use the guide range 3–8%.
• For creams, the reference gives 2–5% for the formula.
• The guide range for rinse-off is 2–4% as a formulation guide.

Incorporate Glycerin in the water phase without a separate melt step.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• An entry for Glycerin in CosIng is not authorization for a material grade or completed cosmetic; review local requirements.
• Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety evaluation of the product containing Glycerin as it will be marketed before the finished product is marketed.
• Compare the received Glycerin material with its supplier specification and review destination-market filing needs.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The use-level note is a reference for cosmetic formulation; it does not qualify a finished product as a drug or OTC product and the completed cosmetic needs its own patch and stability checks.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep the bulk container closed and shaded in a cool area; match the pack choice to the system's oxidation risk; use batch testing to verify stability and package compatibility.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• The cosmetic concept for Glycerin in this entry centers on humectant function.

• The development record cannot verify therapeutic results, cure claims, or unverified certification claims.
• The formulation record for Glycerin does not support whitening, acne-treatment, antiperspirant, sun-protection, or hair-growth benefits.

1. INCI & CAS

INCI: Panthenol · CAS: 81-13-0

2. Role in the formula

Across serums, gels, lotions, and washes, D-panthenol serves as a water-soluble humectant; the percentage is guidance rather than an assay.

3. Typical use levels (formulation guide)

• For serums and gels, the recorded level is 1–5%.
• 1–3% is listed for creams and lotions as a formulation guide.
• The level shown for rinse-off washes is 0.5–2% for the formula.

Use cool-down addition for Panthenol; it is water-soluble, with a typical leave-on pH of about 5–6.

4. Regulatory sources & global compliance

• Database information on Panthenol does not replace review of the supplied grade and finished product under market rules.
• The framework in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires a safety assessment of the complete cosmetic formula containing Panthenol rather than for an ingredient name alone.
• Match the selected Panthenol material to its supplier TDS and check the filing list for the market of sale.

5. Safety & risk assessment

The concentration shown is guidance for cosmetic formulation; it does not authorize a drug or OTC product so assess patch response and stability in the final formula.

6. Stability & packaging

Keep bulk supplies closed, cool, and protected from sunlight; where oxidation is a concern, evaluate airless or pump packaging; check the final package and formula together for compatibility and stability.

7. Claims language (Do / Don’t)

• For cosmetic use, this entry records Panthenol in a direction centered on comfort and humectant support.

• This product entry provides no basis for therapeutic outcomes, clinical cures, or a certification the finished SKU does not hold.
• The cosmetic guidance for Panthenol does not confirm whitening, acne care as treatment, perspiration reduction, sun protection, or hair growth.
