Cosphaderm® E NGM is a fluid lysolecithin derived from soybeans. Lysolecithin is an enzymatically modified derivative of lecithin from which one fatty acid has been removed. This results in increased emulsifying and dispersion properties in aqueous media leading to greater water-binding capacity. Due to their more hydrophilic character, lysolecithins are ideal co-emulsifiers for o/w emulsions with high water content. Beyond the co-emulsifier function, lysolecithin contributes to better hair combability in conditioners and a light and silky skin sensation in leave-on formulations.
Cosphaderm® SF-S organic is an organic, standardized fluid lecithin derived from sunflower oil by supercritical CO2 extraction. The naturally occurring ratio between phospholipids and glycosides typically found in sunflower is retained. Cosphaderm® SF-S organic is a natural co-emulsifier highly suitable for forming w/o emulsions.
Lecithins possess skin conditioning properties. They are able to penetrate into the skin, where they can bind water and act as a moisturizer. Additionally, they can arrange in lamellar structures mimicking skin layers. Those structures can be incorporated into the skin barrier to stabilize and regenerate the skin.
Finally, Cosphaderm® SF-S organic has a refatting effect for a smooth skin sensation.

Cosphaderm® SF-75H is a fractionated and hydrogenated de-oiled sunflower 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® SF-75H 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 colour or odour.

Cosphaderm® EGCg ECONAT is a white powder extract from high quality green tea leaves of Camellia sinensis. The predominant active ingredient at more than 90% is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg), a powerful antioxidant. EGCg is the most effective among the tea catechins displaying high levels of radical scavenging activity and thereby protecting the skin against reactive oxygen species. Research indicates that EGCg displays even further beneficial effects including antimicrobial activity, reduction of skin damage from UV light and prevention of collagen breakdown by inhibiting collagenase, the enzyme responsible for collagen breakdown. Cosphaderm® EGCg ECONAT is a genuine active ingredient that is particularly suitable for cosmetic anti-aging formulations.
Cosphaderm® Absolute is an innovative humectant active blend which improves skin barrier function while simultaneously reducing the water activity of cosmetic formulations. With the three established humectants sodium lactate, betaine and propanediol in optimally balanced concentrations, Cosphaderm® Absolute ensures excellent skin hydration. Additionally, lowering water activity and thus limiting water availability to microorganisms allows a reduction of the antimicrobials required for preservation. Thus, the natural blend combines skin barrier-enhancing properties with a unique antimicrobial mode of action, offering the possibility of an innovative, alternative preservation strategy that meets market needs and current trends in the cosmetics industry.
Cosphaderm® Sodium Hyaluronate low is the sodium salt of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid produced by all-natural fermentation and physical purification processes. In human tissue, hyaluronic acid is an essential part of the extracellular matrix. It binds water and serves as a natural humectant and anti-aging ingredient for the skin, guaranteeing its elasticity and moisture retention. Due to its low molecular weight of less than 50 kDa, Cosphaderm® Sodium Hyaluronate low can penetrate deeper into the skin for a long lasting moisturizing and anti-aging effect. With regular use, its ability to connect to skin keratin results in reduction of wrinkle depth, long-term humidification and increased skin elasticity.

Due to its high molecular weight of at least 2000 kDa, Cosphaderm® Sodium Hyaluronate high has excellent wrinkle filling, viscosity increasing and anti-inflammatory properties. It cannot penetrate deeper skin layers but minimizes the appearance of wrinkles by forming a moisturizing film on the skin surface for an instant anti-aging effect.
Cosphaderm® E-1000 NON GMO is a blend of the strong antioxidant d-alpha-tocopherol with non-GMO sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 67.1% d-alpha-tocopherol, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. D-alpha-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 NON GMO acts as a radical scavenger and antioxidant protecting the skin from UV damage, making it a genuine active ingredient particularly suitable for sun-care and anti-aging formulations. All formulations produced with Cosphaderm® E-1000 NON GMO may be labelled “contains vitamin E from a natural source”.
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® E-1000 Sunflower consists of the strong antioxidant d-alpha-tocopherol from non-GMO sunflower oil. It contains a minimum total amount of 67.1% d-alpha-tocopherol, equivalent to 1000 IU/g of vitamin E. D-alpha-tocopherol is the most effective form of vitamin E naturally present in the skin.

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-alpha-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 biologically active alpha-tocopherol through the outer skin layers. Upon penetration, it is enzymatically hydrolysed to release alpha-tocopherol in the skin. Once alpha-tocopherol is formed, it helps keep the cell membranes intact and protects against oxidation and free radicals. Furthermore, it promotes healing processes, enhances water binding and improves skin moisturization accordingly.
Cosphaderm® PA ECONAT is a 50% aqueous solution of phytic acid that acts as a strong natural chelating agent and is effective over a wide pH range. Derived from the soak water of corn or rice bran, Cosphaderm® PA ECONAT is completely natural and COSMOS-approved. Like other chelators, phytic acid 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.
