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® AS is an organic acid with multifunctional properties. Due to its gentle and pleasant scent, Cosphaderm AS can be used as a masking agent to cover undesired odors from other ingredients. Anisic acid also provides strong antimicrobial efficacy at pH values below 6.0, especially against yeasts and molds.

Cosphaderm® Sodium pAS natural is the sodium salt of plant-derived anisic acid. Due to its gentle and pleasant odour, Cosphaderm® Sodium pAS natural can be used as a masking agent to cover undesired odours from other ingredients. Another core property of sodium anisate is the strong antimicrobial efficacy against yeasts and moulds at pH values below 6.0. The big advantage of sodium anisate is its superior water-solubility, which makes this product even easier to incorporate into cosmetic formulations than anisic acid.

Cosphaderm® Sodium LAAS is a white powder comprising the solid mixture of Sodium Levulinate and Sodium Anisate.
