Cosphagard® Pol is a cost-efficient mixture of potassium sorbate and the naturally derived multifunctional sodium levulinate. The blend can be used to replace controversially discussed preservatives like parabens, MIT, triclosan, formaldehyde, and other separators, etc., without losing strong antimicrobial effectiveness against bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. A further advantage is that this blend is COSMOS-approved and also complies with further international certification labels. It can be used for any cosmetic formulation type except purely oil-based formulations. For full efficiency the pH value of the final product should ideally be 5.5.

Cosphaderm® AP is the lipophilic ester of ascorbic acid and palmitic acid. The palmityl ester possesses improved skin penetration and stability properties compared to ascorbic acid. As an established vitamin C derivative it can be used in skin whitening approaches. The main application of ascorbyl palmitate is to act as a radical scavenger and stop oxidative radical chain reactions or even regenerate depleted antioxidants. By this means, Cosphaderm® AP achieves protection of unsaturated fat and oil components on its own or in synergy with other antioxidants like tocopherols or rosemary extract.
