Cosphatec introduced Cosphaderm Propanediol, natural, palm-free diol derived from non-GMO corn fermentation. The ingredient offers multifunctional benefits for skin and hair, as well as formulations.

Multifunctional Palm-free Diol

As a natural, transparent and colorless ingredient, Cosphaderm Propanediol (INCI: Propanediol) is water-soluble, making it suitable for both skin and hair care, per the company.

Functionally, it serves as a:

  • moisturizer,
  • humectant,
  • emollient and
  • solvent.

Additionally, it is said to enhance the efficiency of preservative systems. It also is COSMOS and Natrue compliant.

Palm-free, Sustainable Solution

According to Cosphatec, the ingredient is designed for product developers seeking alternatives to petrochemical or palm oil-derived ingredients. This natural palm-free option therefore expands options for sustainable, effective formulations.
