Cosphaderm® GeMix is a multifunctional blend of glyceryl caprylate and glyceryl undecylenate. Produced from natural sources, it is a biodegradable blend with emollient, emulsifying, moisturizing, skin and hair conditioning as well as re-fatting properties. Cosphaderm GeMix combines the additional antimicrobial properties of both ingredients in one raw material. Glyceryl caprylate provides a strong antimicrobial efficiency against bacteria and yeasts whereas glyceryl undecylenate shows great efficiency against gram-positive bacteria, yeasts and molds. Combination of both ingredients leads to full spectrum microbial protection in a pH range from 3.5 to 7.5.

Cosphaderm® X 7 is a natural, NON GMO and vegan xanthan gum produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. The heteropolysaccharide complies with food as well as pharma requirements and is used as a thickening agent, providing a high viscosity yield and great skin feeling. It does not impact the taste, color or odor of the product. Cosphaderm® X 7 efficiently stabilizes cosmetic o/w-emulsions by preventing fusion of oil droplets and its solutions are tolerant against salts, acids, heat and ethanol.

Cosphaderm® T-70 NON GMO ECO CC is a blend that is both COSMOS certified and NATRUE compliant. It consists of organic sunflower oil and tocopherols derived from non-GMO plant sources. The blend contains at least 70% tocopherol, with particularly high levels of the beta, gamma and delta isoforms. These isoforms are excellent natural antioxidants and protect sensitive oil and fat components from oxidation. In addition, Cosphaderm® T-70 NON GMO ECO CC can improve the stability of cosmetic formulations in terms of discoloration and odor, which contributes to a longer shelf life.

Cosphaderm® Hexiol is a pure, transparent and colorless glycol. Two vicinal OH-groups and a short carbon chain allow unlimited water-solubility. This property is strongly relevant to its most common cosmetic use as a moisturizer and humectant for both skin care and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm® Hexiol can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another core property of 1,2-hexanediol is its pH-independent antimicrobial activity. It further shows remarkable synergistic effects in combination with other antimicrobial substances, making it possible to minimize the total amount of combined preserving agents.
