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® Dicapo is a cost-efficient multifunctional blend of caprylyl glycol, dipropylene glycol and glyceryl caprylate. Caprylyl glycol is an emollient with Humectant abilities as well as skin and hair conditioning properties. Glyceryl caprylate is a highly pure monoester of glycerine and caprylic acid. Beside its main action as emollient and emulsifier, it has moisturizing, wetting and refatting properties. Dipropylene glycol keeps the other two components in solution for an easy application. In addition to all these functions, a mild but efficient antimicrobial property is shared by all three substances. Taken together, the blend has moisturizing and emollient properties while offering comprehensive antimicrobial protection over a broad pH-range in a wide variety of formulations.

Cosphaderm® Dicapo natural is a cost-efficient, multifunctional blend based on natural and COSMOS-approved caprylyl glycol in combination with glyceryl caprylate and propanediol. Caprylyl glycol is an emollient with Humectant abilities as well as skin and hair conditioning properties. Glyceryl caprylate is an emollient and co-emulsifier with moisturizing, wetting and refatting properties. Propanediol keeps the other two components in solution for ease of application and contributes Humectant and emollient properties to the blend. All three substances additionally have a mild but efficient antimicrobial character. Taken together, the blend has moisturizing and emollient properties while offering comprehensive antimicrobial protection over a broad pH-range in a wide variety of formulations.

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.
