Cosphaderm® GMCY is a high purity ester of glycerine and caprylic acid with at least 88% monoester content. Produced from natural sources, it is a readily biodegradable ingredient used in cosmetic and food industry applications for its emollient and emulsifying as well as moisturizing, wetting and refatting properties. Cosphaderm GMCY also provides a strong antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria and yeasts over a pH range from 3.5 to 7.5.

Cosphaderm Heptiol natural is a pure and colourless diol with a water-solubility of up to 1%. It is used as a moisturizer and Humectant for both skin care and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm diols can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another property of 1,2-heptanediol 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® AP is the lipophilic ester of ascorbic acid and palmitic acid. The palmityl ester possesses improved skin penetration and stability properties compared to ascorbic acid. As an established vitamin C derivative it can be used in skin whitening approaches. The main application of ascorbyl palmitate is to act as a radical scavenger and stop oxidative radical chain reactions or even regenerate depleted antioxidants. By this means, Cosphaderm® AP achieves protection of unsaturated fat and oil components on its own or in synergy with other antioxidants like tocopherols or rosemary extract.

Cosphaderm® Tocopharin is a multifunctional antioxidant blend consisting of Carnosic Acid extracted from rosemary, mixed tocopherols and organic sunflower oil. Powerful even in low concentrations, the liquid, odourless product optimally combines the antioxidative capacity of its nature-derived ingredients. Mixed tocopherols are widely used as highly effective natural antioxidants for protection of oil and fat components susceptible to oxidation. Carnosic Acid provides additional antioxidative activity not only enhancing the stabilization of cosmetic formulations, but also protecting the skin from oxidative stress by displaying anti-aging and anti-UV-damage properties. Cosphaderm® Tocopharin is your ideal choice for antioxidative protection of both skin and product.
