Personal Care Ingredients

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® GS Connect is a natural, COSMOS-approved anionic O/W emulsifier that is ideal for creating stable and sustainable emulsions. This reliable and robust ingredient has a well-established INCI and is highly compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, making it an ideal choice for various applications, including skin, baby, sun, and hair care. It allows for versatile textures such as creams, sprays, lotions, and butters, providing a smooth and soft skin feel. In addition, its solid flake form enables easy and dust-free processing. Cosphaderm GS Connect is also effective in building up viscosity and can be perfectly combined with Cosphaderm® Lecithins.

Cosphaderm® SB-75H NON GMO is a COSMOS- and NATRUE-compliant, fractionated and hydrogenated de-oiled soybean 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 SB-75H NON GMO 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 the formulations color or odor.

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.
