Cosphaderm® Sodium LAAS is a white powder comprising the solid mixture of Sodium Levulinate and Sodium Anisate.

Cosphaderm® PA-12 is a powder product consisting of the sodium salt of phytic acid, which acts as a strong natural chelating agent and is effective over a wide pH range. Derived from the soak water of corn bran, Cosphaderm® PA-12 is completely natural and COSMOS-approved. Like other chelators, sodium phytate can contribute to preservation strategies by sequestering physiologically important metal ions. Its chelating properties additionally provide antioxidative functionality by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species while also reducing discoloration of cosmetic products.

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® 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.
