Cosphaderm® CHA is the Hydroxamic Acid of caprylic acid. The natural organic acid is a chelator and antimicrobial with a strong efficacy against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, especially yeasts and molds. In contrast to other organic acids, Cosphaderm® CHA remains undissociated even at neutral pH and is therefore applicable over a broad pH range up to pH 7.5. The combination of chelating and antimicrobial properties in one molecule allows for use of Cosphaderm CHA for stabilization of cosmetic formulations against metal ion-induced oxidation and protection against microorganisms at the same time.

Cosphaderm® GS Connect is a natural, COSMOS-approved anionic O/W emulsifier that is ideal for creating stable and sustainable emulsions. This reliable and robust ingredient has a well-established INCI and is highly compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including skin, baby, sun, and hair care. It allows for versatile textures such as creams, sprays, lotions, and butters, providing a smooth and soft skin feel. In addition, its solid flake form enables easy and dust-free processing. Cosphaderm GS Connect is also effective in building up viscosity and can be perfectly combined with Cosphaderm® Lecithins.

Cosphaderm E-1000 Sunflower consists of the strong antioxidant d-alpha-tocopherol from non-GMO sunflower oil. The alpha-tocopherol is dissolved in organic sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 67.1% d-alpha-tocopherol, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. D-alpha-tocopherol is the most effective form of vitamin E naturally present in the skin. Due to ultraviolet radiation, levels of vitamin E decrease towards the skin surface making the skin vulnerable to oxidative stress. Cosphaderm® E-1000 Sunflower acts efficiently as a radical scavenger and antioxidant protecting the skin from UV damage, making it a genuine active ingredient particularly suitable for sun-care and anti-aging formulations. All formulations produced with Cosphaderm E-1000 Sunflower may be labelled “contains vitamin E from a natural source”.

Cosphaderm® E-1000Ac NON GMO is a blend of tocopheryl acetate and non-GMO sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 73.5 % d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. Due to its stability, tocopheryl acetate is the most commonly used cosmetic vitamin E derivative. Tocopheryl acetate can be regarded as a precursor for transport of biologically active alpha-tocopherol through the outer skin layers. Upon penetration, it is enzymatically hydrolyzed to release alpha-tocopherol in the skin. Once alpha-tocopherol is formed, it helps keep the cell membranes intact and protects against oxidation and free radicals. Furthermore, it promotes healing processes, enhances water binding and improves skin moisturization accordingly.
