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® 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.

Cosphagard® Exact is a blend of the preservative Phenoxyethanol with Ethylhexylglycerin. It displays a broad antimicrobial efficacy spectrum against bacteria, yeasts and molds. The clear fluid blend is pH-independent and temperature-stable.
