Hygiène & Cosmétique

Cosphaderm® VBE is a skin-warming active ingredient synthetically derived from vanillin and reminiscent of its characteristic scent. The unique warming effect with a fast onset and a long-lasting sensation is mechanically similar but less irritating than capsaicin. This effect, which is directly linked to vasodilation, as well as its ability to increase local blood flow, makes Cosphaderm® VBE a great alternative to capsaicin in many personal care applications from head to toe.

Cosphaderm® Propanediol natural palm free is a pure, transparent and colorless diol. Its polar character allows unlimited water-solubility. This property is highly relevant to its popular cosmetic use as a moisturizer and humectant. As a non-sticky alternative to glycerol, it can also be applied as an emollient or solvent. Produced by fermentation of corn and used as a substitute for propylene glycol, it is an ideal solution for creating formulations without petrochemical or palm oil ingredients. At the same time, it can help to protect a formulation from uncontrolled microbial growth by boosting the efficiency of the preservative system.

Cosphaderm® Feel is a triglyceride oil suitable for skin and hair care as well as decorative cosmetic products, providing excellent skin feel. Made from 100% natural vegetable oils, it is free from palm oil and ECOCERT and is COSMOS-compliant. Due to its short-chain fatty acids, it is a polar oil with a high level of spreadability for good skin distribution. Used as a substitute for cyclomethicone D5, it can enable a silicone-free formulation and provide improved combability and shine in hair care products. Due to its polar and slightly viscous character, Cosphaderm Feel also has the ability to finely disperse UV filters and pigments.
