Cosphatec GmbH expands its portfolio with Cosphaderm® HAP, a nature-identical ingredient that provides reliable antimicrobial protection and formulation flexibility for the cosmetics industry.
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.
Cosphaderm® HAP will be presented for the first time at the SEPAWA Congress in Berlin (15-17 October 2025) at the Cosphatec booth B201-202. Visitors can explore the full product portfolio and speak directly to the company’s experts.
