Cosphatec launches ‘nature-identical’ multifunctional

Cosphatec has launched Cosphaderm HAP, a nature-identical ingredient that provides reliable antimicrobial protection and formulation flexibility for the cosmetics industry.

Cosphaderm HAP is a clear, water-soluble multifunctional agent, that can be seamlessly integrated into various cosmetic formulations.

Hydroxyacetophenone, the ingredient in Cosphaderm HAP, combines strong antimicrobial activity, excellent water solubility and broad pH stability (3-9) – making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications.

It is particularly effective against yeasts and moulds while providing broad spectrum protection.

Beyond its antimicrobial performance, Cosphaderm HAP offers antioxidant properties and a neutral sensory profile, ensuring that texture, colour and fragrance of formulations remain unchanged.

The result: safe, effective and consumer-friendly cosmetic products.

“Cosphaderm HAP gives formulators a future-proof, cost-effective solution for product protection without compromising on quality or sensory experience,” said a spokeswoman.
