COSPHADERM SB-75H is a fractionated and hydrogenated, de-oiled soybean lecithin in powdered shape (PC content min 70 %). The hydrogenation of double bonds in the fatty acids results in a higher stability towards destructive oxidation and much better emulsifying and dispersion properties in aqueous media compared to common fractionated lecithin.

Cosphaderm® Dicapo natural is a cost-efficient, multifunctional blend based on natural and COSMOS-approved caprylyl glycol in combination with glyceryl caprylate and propanediol. Caprylyl glycol is an emollient with Humectant abilities as well as skin and hair conditioning properties. Glyceryl caprylate is an emollient and co-emulsifier with moisturizing, wetting and refatting properties. Propanediol keeps the other two components in solution for ease of application and contributes Humectant and emollient properties to the blend. All three substances additionally have a mild but efficient antimicrobial character. 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.

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.
