Ingredienti per la cura personale

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® T-70 NON GMO ECO CC is a blend that is both COSMOS certified and NATRUE compliant. It consists of organic sunflower oil and tocopherols derived from non-GMO plant sources. The blend contains at least 70% tocopherol, with particularly high levels of the beta, gamma and delta isoforms. These isoforms are excellent natural antioxidants and protect sensitive oil and fat components from oxidation. In addition, Cosphaderm® T-70 NON GMO ECO CC can improve the stability of cosmetic formulations in terms of discoloration and odor, which contributes to a longer shelf life.

Cosphaderm® X 7 is a natural, NON GMO and vegan xanthan gum produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. The heteropolysaccharide complies with food as well as pharma requirements and is used as a thickening agent, providing a high viscosity yield and great skin feeling. It does not impact the taste, color or odor of the product. Cosphaderm® X 7 efficiently stabilizes cosmetic o/w-emulsions by preventing fusion of oil droplets and its solutions are tolerant against salts, acids, heat and ethanol.

Cosphaderm® pAS natural is a plant-derived anisic acid with multifunctional properties. Due to its very gentle and pleasant scent, Cosphaderm pAS natural can be used as a masking agent to cover undesired odour from other ingredients. Another function of anisic acid is the strong antimicrobial efficacy at pH values below 6.0, especially against yeasts and molds.
