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® GMUD is made from natural undecylenic acid linked to plant-based glycerol. It is a natural multifunctional compound with emollient, emulsifying and skin conditioning properties. Additionally, it can support antimicrobial product protection approaches with its mild surface activity and corresponding disruption of the microorganism’s membrane integrity. As an antimicrobial multifunctional, it is especially effective against yeasts and molds.

Cosphaderm® Absolute is an innovative humectant active blend which improves skin barrier function while simultaneously reducing the water activity of cosmetic formulations. With the three established humectants sodium lactate, betaine and propanediol in optimally balanced concentrations, Cosphaderm Absolute ensures excellent skin hydration. Additionally, lowering water activity and thus limiting water availability to microorganisms allows a reduction of the antimicrobials required for preservation. Thus, the natural blend combines skin barrier-enhancing properties with a unique antimicrobial mode of action, offering the possibility of an innovative, alternative preservation strategy that meets market needs and current trends in the cosmetics industry.

Cosphaderm HAP is a cost-efficient, water-soluble multifunctional with strong antimicrobial activity, particularly effective against yeasts and moulds. It offers high pH stability in the range of 3 to 9 and does not affect the sensory or physical properties of the formulation. Thanks to its mild profile and its additional antioxidant properties, it is well-suited for a wide variety of formulations while maintaining effective preservation.
