Personal Care Ingredients

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® GeMix is a multifunctional blend of glyceryl caprylate and glyceryl undecylenate. Produced from natural sources, it is a biodegradable blend with emollient, emulsifying, moisturizing, skin and hair conditioning as well as re-fatting properties. Cosphaderm GeMix combines the additional antimicrobial properties of both ingredients in one raw material. Glyceryl caprylate provides a strong antimicrobial efficiency against bacteria and yeasts whereas glyceryl undecylenate shows great efficiency against gram-positive bacteria, yeasts and molds. Combination of both ingredients leads to full spectrum microbial protection in a pH range from 3.5 to 7.5.

Cosphaderm® SF-75H is a fractionated and hydrogenated de-oiled sunflower lecithin in powdered form with a phosphatidylcholine content exceeding 70%. The hydrogenation of double bonds of the fatty acids provides greater oxidation stability and much better emulsifying and dispersion properties in aqueous media compared to common fractionated lecithin. In addition, Cosphaderm SF-75H is a great choice for forming micelles and liposomes since the structure of hydrogenated lecithin facilitates more compact and stable interfaces. Finally, it is an excellent co-emulsifier and emulsifier for both o/w and w/o emulsions, even in cold process formulations, without impacting color or odor.

Cosphaderm® E-1000 NON GMO is a blend of the strong antioxidant d-alpha-tocopherol with non-GMO 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 NON GMO acts 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.
