47 cosmetic ingredients from Alpha Lipoic Acid – Cosmetic Grade (Thioctic Acid) to Lysozyme. Every entry carries the INCI name, CAS number where one is assigned, solubility, typical use level, pH range, the phase to add it in, and the regulatory position — then links straight to the material.
Alcohol Soluble — Soluble in ethanol and in polar solvents; limited water solubility. Pre-dissolve in alcohol, glycol or a solubiliser before addition.
TYPICAL USE LEVEL
No single published figure applies to every grade of this material. As a working rule, start water-phase actives at 0.5–2%, oil-phase actives at 1–5%, standardised or potent isolates at 0.05–0.5%, and supplier-diluted solutions at the percentage the technical data sheet specifies. Always confirm the exact level against the supplier TDS, your stability and compatibility testing, and the safety assessment for your finished product.
