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.

From the early beginnings Cosphatec GmbH focuses on naturally preserving modern cosmetics and hence to cover the fundamental needs of cosmetic formulators in terms of microbial and antioxidative stability, as well as stability for emulsions and viscosity. At the company natural substances and skin tolerance are equally important. Therefore, the industry expert uses biodegradable raw materials that come from sustainable and natural sources. To guarantee the best possible effects on the skin, the ingredients are tested according to highest German quality standards. The natural raw materials are vegan, non-GMO and the core products are also approved by COSMOS and NATRUE. Their product range goes from natural multifunctionals and mild preservatives to antioxidants as well as natural emulsifiers and emollients. Furthermore, Cosphatec offers not only actives but also natural thickening and gelling agents.
