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.

Cosphaderm® Propanediol natural palm free is a pure, transparent and colorless diol. Its polar character allows unlimited water-solubility. This property is highly relevant to its popular cosmetic use as a moisturizer and humectant. As a non-sticky alternative to glycerol, it can also be applied as an emollient or solvent. Produced by fermentation of corn and used as a substitute for propylene glycol, it is an ideal solution for creating formulations without petrochemical or palm oil ingredients. At the same time, it can help to protect a formulation from uncontrolled microbial growth by boosting the efficiency of the preservative system.

Cosphaderm® Butiol natural is a pure, water-soluble, and colorless diol suitable for a large variety of cosmetic formulations and personal care applications. Produced by fermentation from cassava, it meets the highest standards for natural cosmetics, making it a safe and sustainable choice for modern skincare. As a potent humectant, it provides lasting hydration, keeping skin soft and smooth. Beyond its moisturizing capabilities, it acts as an antimicrobial booster for preservation systems. It can also enhance product texture, regulate viscosity, and serve as a solvent for natural plant extracts, stabilizing volatile aroma compounds and actives. With its versatile functionality and eco-friendly profile, Cosphaderm® Butiol natural will boost the performance of your formulations.

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.
