Cosphaderm® E NGM is a fluid lysolecithin derived from soybeans. Lysolecithin is an enzymatically modified derivative of lecithin from which one fatty acid has been removed. This results in increased emulsifying and dispersion properties in aqueous media leading to greater water-binding capacity. Due to an enhanced hydrophilic character, lysolecithins are ideal co-emulsifiers for o/w emulsions with high water content. Beyond the co-emulsifier function, lysolecithin contributes to better hair combability in conditioners and a light and silky skin sensation in leave-on formulations.

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® Feel is a triglyceride oil suitable for skin and hair care as well as decorative cosmetic products, providing excellent skin feel. Made from 100% natural vegetable oils, it is free from palm oil and ECOCERT and is COSMOS-compliant. Due to its short-chain fatty acids, it is a polar oil with a high level of spreadability for good skin distribution. Used as a substitute for cyclomethicone D5, it can enable a silicone-free formulation and provide improved combability and shine in hair care products. Due to its polar and slightly viscous character, Cosphaderm Feel also has the ability to finely disperse UV filters and pigments.

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”.
