Cosphaderm Magnolia Extract 98 is pure powdered extract of the bark of Magnolia Officinalis with a minimal content of 98% magnolol and honokiol in a ration of approx 1 to1. It inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi pH independently. It has a very strong effect against caries and periodontitis, acts anti-inflammatory and is a highly effective anti-again agent and a strong antioxidant.

Cosphaderm® Octiol natural is a pure and colorless glycol. It is used as a moisturizer and Humectant for both skin care and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm Octiol natural can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another property of caprylyl glycol 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.

Cosphaderm® Pentiol natural is a pure, transparent, colorless and odorless glycol of natural origin. 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 and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm® Pentiol natural can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another property of Pentylene Glycol 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.

Cosphaderm LAAS is an aqueous mixture of levulinic acid, p-anisic acid and glycerin. Established as a highly effective combination of natural antimicrobial agents, additional skin conditioning and masking properties are provided by levulinic acid and p-anisic acid. Furthermore, the glycerin content in this preparation helps to support the hydration of the outer layer of the skin. The optimal pH range for Cosphaderm LAAS is between 5.0 and 5.5 to keep antimicrobial activity and solubility in perfect balance. This makes it a perfect choice for formulations at skin pH.
