Cosphaderm® Panthenol natural is the natural version of the well-established active ingredient D-Panthenol. Renowned for its versatile benefits, Panthenol is an indispensable addition to a wide range of formulations. This ingredient supports the skin’s natural barrier, helping to protect against external stressors while promoting hydration. Its calming and anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent choice for addressing irritation, while its wound-care capabilities aid in skin recovery and repair. Its ability to strengthen skin, hair and nails make it an ideal all-rounder active for every formulation. Sourced sustainably, our Cosphaderm Panthenol natural delivers exceptional quality, aligning with growing demand for effective and eco-friendly cosmetic ingredients.

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 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® Dicapo is a cost-efficient multifunctional blend of caprylyl glycol, dipropylene glycol and glyceryl caprylate. Caprylyl glycol is an emollient with Humectant abilities as well as skin and hair conditioning properties. Glyceryl caprylate is a highly pure monoester of glycerine and caprylic acid. Beside its main action as emollient and emulsifier, it has moisturizing, wetting and refatting properties. Dipropylene glycol keeps the other two components in solution for an easy application. In addition to all these functions, a mild but efficient antimicrobial property is shared by all three substances. Taken together, the blend has moisturizing and emollient properties while offering comprehensive antimicrobial protection over a broad pH-range in a wide variety of formulations.
