COSPHADERA E 100 E IP is a hydrolysed and de-oiled lysolecithin in powdered shape. The naturally occurring ratio between the different phospholipids and glycosides typically found in soy are kept. COSPHADERM E 100 E IP increase emulsifying and dispersion properties in aqueous media compared to common lecithins. This leads to higher water binding capacity and a better skin feeling. In addition, the disliked effects, e.g., forming of a persistent fat film, change towards a moisturized and silky skin sensation.

Cosphaderm® Hexiol is a pure, transparent and colorless glycol. Two vicinal OH-groups and a short carbon chain allow unlimited water-solubility. This property is strongly relevant to its most common cosmetic use as a moisturizer and humectant for both skin care and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm® Hexiol can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another core property of 1,2-hexanediol 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® 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® GeMix is a multifunctional blend of glyceryl caprylate and glyceryl undecylenate. Produced from natural sources, it is a biodegradable blend with emollient, emulsifying, moisturizing, skin and hair conditioning as well as re-fatting properties. Cosphaderm GeMix combines the additional antimicrobial properties of both ingredients in one raw material. Glyceryl caprylate provides a strong antimicrobial efficiency against bacteria and yeasts whereas glyceryl undecylenate shows great efficiency against gram-positive bacteria, yeasts and molds. Combination of both ingredients leads to full spectrum microbial protection in a pH range from 3.5 to 7.5.
