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.

Cosphagard® SA natural is 100% naturally sourced and COSMOS-approved salicylic acid made from natural wintergreen oil by mild fermentation and two-step purification. Salicylic acid has been sourced traditionally from willow trees. Willow bark extract has played a role in traditional herbal medicine in many cultures, and the extract of dried bark is still used as a drug in tea or natural medicine. Salicylic acid is a well-known active and listed Preservative that has been used for its antimicrobial, keratolytic and anti-inflammatory activity in products against acne and dandruff for many years.

Cosphaderm® E-1000 NON GMO is a blend of the strong antioxidant d-alpha-tocopherol with non-GMO sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 67.1% d-alpha-tocopherol, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. D-alpha-tocopherol is the most effective form of vitamin E naturally present in the skin. Due to ultraviolet radiation, levels of vitamin E decrease towards the skin surface, making the skin vulnerable to oxidative stress. Cosphaderm® E-1000 NON GMO acts as a radical scavenger and antioxidant protecting the skin from UV damage, making it a genuine active ingredient particularly suitable for sun-care and anti-aging formulations.

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.
