Vinoperfect Brightening Glycolic Overnight Cream

CIR Safety Assessment of Alpha Hydroxy Acids as Used in Cosmetics: The CIR Expert Panel reviewed glycolic acid as part of its alpha hydroxy acid assessment. It is safe as used in cosmetics as an exfoliant and pH adjuster. At active exfoliant concentrations the Panel recommended sun protection advisories due to increased photosensitivity. Stinging or irritation may occur, especially in sensitive skin.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Glycolic Acid: CTPA lists glycolic acid as a permitted alpha hydroxy acid in cosmetics. At active concentrations, EU Cosmetics Regulation requires advisory labelling on increased sun sensitivity. At low concentrations it functions as a pH adjuster and is considered safe.

FDA GRAS Database — Glycerin: Glycerin (glycerol) is affirmed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a cosmetic ingredient, it is one of the most widely used and well-tolerated humectants, drawing moisture from the environment to the outer layers of the skin.

CIR Safety Assessment of Triglycerides as Used in Cosmetics: The CIR Expert Panel found caprylic/capric triglyceride safe as used in cosmetics. It is a lightweight emollient ester derived from coconut oil that provides skin-conditioning benefits without greasiness, and is non-irritating and non-sensitising at cosmetic concentrations.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: CTPA lists caprylic/capric triglyceride as a safe emollient and skin-conditioning agent derived from plant-based fats. It is well tolerated by all skin types and widely used in moisturisers and skin care formulations.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — FDA Cosmetic Ingredient Review: Niacinamide is considered safe for use in cosmetics. It is a well-established skin-conditioning agent with evidence supporting its role in improving skin texture, tone, and barrier function.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Niacinamide: CTPA lists niacinamide as a safe and effective skin-conditioning agent widely used across cosmetic formulations, with a strong safety profile across concentrations typically used in cosmetics (2–10%).

CIR/FDA Ingredient Assessment — Not Found in Regulatory Databases: No published safety assessment was found for this ingredient in the CIR (FDA advisory panel), CTPA, or MFDS regulatory databases at the time of this review. This does not necessarily indicate a safety concern — many commonly used cosmetic ingredients have not been individually assessed by these bodies.

CIR Safety Assessment of Squalane as Used in Cosmetics: The CIR Expert Panel found squalane safe as used in cosmetics. It is a saturated hydrocarbon emollient that closely resembles squalene produced naturally by human sebaceous glands. It is well tolerated and non-irritating.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Squalane: CTPA lists squalane as a safe emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It is a skin-identical lipid that provides moisturisation without greasiness and is considered non-comedogenic and well tolerated by all skin types.

FDA Briefing on Hyaluronic Acid in Topical Formulations: Sodium hyaluronate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) as a cosmetic ingredient. It functions as an effective humectant and skin-conditioning agent suitable for all skin types.

CIR Safety Assessment of Tocopherols and Tocopheryl Esters as Used in Cosmetics: The CIR Expert Panel found tocopheryl acetate safe as used in cosmetic formulations. It functions as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent, protecting formulas and skin from oxidative damage. The Panel noted rare reports of contact sensitisation at very high concentrations.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Tocopheryl Acetate: CTPA lists tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E ester) as a safe skin-conditioning and antioxidant ingredient. It is widely used in cosmetics to protect against oxidative stress and is considered safe at concentrations typically used in cosmetic formulations.

FDA — Phenoxyethanol in Cosmetics: FDA has reviewed phenoxyethanol as a cosmetic preservative and considers it safe at concentrations up to 1.0% in cosmetic products. FDA advises caution in products used around the mouth of infants.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Phenoxyethanol: CTPA confirms phenoxyethanol is a permitted cosmetic preservative under EU Cosmetics Regulation at a maximum concentration of 1.0%, and is considered safe for use in both rinse-off and leave-on products.

CIR Safety Assessment of Ethylhexylglycerin as Used in Cosmetics: The CIR Expert Panel found ethylhexylglycerin safe as used in cosmetics. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent and preservative booster enhancing the efficacy of other preservatives. No significant irritation or sensitisation was identified at cosmetic concentrations.

CTPA Ingredient Library — Ethylhexylglycerin: CTPA lists ethylhexylglycerin as a safe skin-conditioning agent and preservative enhancer. It is used in cosmetics to improve formula feel and boost preservation systems, and is considered non-irritating for most skin types.
