Personal Care Ingredients

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 Heptiol natural is a pure and colourless diol with a water-solubility of up to 1%. It is used as a moisturizer and Humectant for both skin care and hair care formulations. Static light scattering experiments have shown that Cosphaderm diols can also be used to stabilize o/w emulsions by droplet size reduction. Another property of 1,2-heptanediol 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® Tocopharin is a multifunctional antioxidant blend consisting of Carnosic Acid extracted from rosemary, mixed tocopherols and organic sunflower oil. Powerful even in low concentrations, the liquid, odourless product optimally combines the antioxidative capacity of its nature-derived ingredients. Mixed tocopherols are widely used as highly effective natural antioxidants for protection of oil and fat components susceptible to oxidation. Carnosic Acid provides additional antioxidative activity not only enhancing the stabilization of cosmetic formulations, but also protecting the skin from oxidative stress by displaying anti-aging and anti-UV-damage properties. Cosphaderm® Tocopharin is your ideal choice for antioxidative protection of both skin and product.

Cosphaderm® T-50 NON GMO ECO is a blend of organic sunflower oil and mixed tocopherols from NON GMO vegetable sources. It contains a minimum total amount of 50% tocopherol with high proportions of beta, gamma and delta isoforms. Mixed tocopherols are widely used as ideal natural antioxidants for protection of oil and fat components susceptible to oxidation.
