D-α-tocopherol is the most effective form of vitamin E naturally present in the skin. Due to ultraviolet radiation, levels of vitamin E decrease towards the skin surface, making the skin vulnerable to oxidative stress. Cosphaderm® E-1000 Sunflower acts efficiently as a radical scavenger and antioxidant protecting the skin from UV damage, making it an active ingredient particularly suitable for sun-care and anti-ageing formulations. All formulations produced with Cosphaderm® E-1000 Sunflower may be labelled “contains vitamin E from a natural source”.may be labelled with the statement "contains vitamin E from natural sources".

Cosphaderm® E-1000Ac NON GMO is a blend of tocopheryl acetate and non-GMO sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 73.5 % D-α-tocopheryl acetate, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. Due to its stability, tocopheryl acetate is the most commonly used cosmetic vitamin E derivative.
Tocopheryl acetate can be regarded as a precursor for transport of the biologically active α-tocopherol through the outer skin layers. Upon penetration, it is enzymatically hydrolysed to release α-tocopherol in the skin. Once α-tocopherol is formed, it helps keep cell membranes intact and protects against oxidation and free radicals. Furthermore, Cosphaderm® E-1000Ac NON GMO promotes healing processes, enhances water binding and improves skin moisturisation accordingly.

In addition to its chelating function, Cosphaderm® PA ECONAT provides antioxidant benefits by preventing the formation of reactive oxygen species. This mechanism further contributes to reduced discolouration of cosmetic products.

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 across 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 discolouration of cosmetic products.
