 OUR JOURNEY
CONTINUES
Over the past year rising prices and limited resources
have put us to the test. We have learned not only
how important it is to be independent, but also
how to get through difficult times with the support
and cohesion of friends and partners. We are both
glad and proud to have this network and to work
hand in hand together.

We are also more than proud to say that we have

grown in these difficult times: we have been able
to expand our product portfolio with innovations,
enter into new partnerships, finally visit customers
and partners around the world again, and make
appearances at trade fairs. Along with improved
networking, our educational offering in the form of

webinars and workshops has enabled us to further

expand our vision of sustainable ingredients and
make it accessible to those who are interested. Not
only in our projects, but also in our team, we have
been able to grow further and welcome some great
new employees.

Also this year, nature is our compass and will guide

us to the next objective. Some exciting new products,
innovations in our offering for transferring know-
ledge and exchanging experiences, new content
for our online community, fascinating insights behind
the scenes, and much more await you.

Join us on our journey and immerse yourself in the

world of natural ingredients.

A certain megatrend is cropping up in more and more areas of everyday life: conscious consumption. Criti-
cal media reports and numerous scandals have brought substances such as parabens, paraffins, fragran-
ces and microplastics into public awareness. In addition, the pressure on the cosmetic industry is rising
due to social media and its over 4.6 billion global users. Viral trends are influencing consumer behaviour
across all age groups. It is therefore no wonder that product ingredients are now being scrutinised more
than ever.

Whether it’s active ingredients, application methods, or formulations – many trends reveal a desire for
clean, effective and harmless formulas. This is especially obvious from the “clean beauty” supertrend,
which calls for products of primarily natural origin without specific critical ingredients. Our product port-
folio therefore consists of natural, vegan, and harmless ingredients.

WE LOOKED AT THREE OF THE TOP TRENDS:

 #TREND 3: LESS IS MORE
In our daily physical care, we often use products containing up to 30 substances. Due to widespread
multilayering, the total number of ingredients can quickly add up to more than 100. This can rapidly
over-treat our skin – and is now giving rise to a huge countertrend: minimalism in skincare and a
reduction of care products to the essentials. Fewer ingredients means that these now have to be
selected with even greater care and consideration. This is where Multifunctionals can fully play to
their strengths. If individual raw materials cover several functions at the same time, the number of
ingredients can be reduced while maintaining full performance.

COSPHADERM® ABSOLUTE – AN INNOVATIVE, WATER ACTIVITY-REDUCING
BLEND FOR COSMETIC FORMULATIONS
Cosphaderm® Absolute is a blend of three established humectant actives in optimally aligned concentrations.
Using Cosphaderm® Absolute helps to hydrate the skin and improve the skin’s barrier function while reducing
the water activity of a formulation. The lower the water activity of a formulation, the less antimicrobials
need to be used for preservation.

With sodium lactate and betaine, Cosphaderm® Absolute provides two skin-own substances of the natural
moisturizing factors (NMF), which ensure the maintenance of the moisture content in the skin. In addition to
its solubilizing function, the multifunctional propanediol promotes the moisturizing effect of the blend. The
three substances share a strong hygroscopicity, which lowers the water activity and thus the availability of
water for microorganisms at the recommended use concentrations. Thus, the natural blend combines a safe
antimicrobial mode of action with skin barrier-enhancing properties, providing an innovative, alternative
preservation strategy that meets market needs and current trends of the cosmetics industry.

STRENGTHENING THE SKIN BARRIER

Due to its special structure, on the one hand a healthy skin barrier protects the body from uncontrolled
water loss, and on the other hand, from environmental influences that pose a hazard to health. A sufficient
moisture content is essential for the functionality of the skin barrier and thus for healthy, well-cared skin.

The skin barrier enhancing effect of Cosphaderm® Absolute was demonstrated in a vehicle-controlled
study with 14 volunteers. After two weeks of using a basic O/W emulsion with 20% Cosphaderm® Absolute
twice daily, skin hydration improved by 45.6%. In addition, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), one of the
key parameters used to assess the skin barrier, was reduced by 11.4%.

ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT THANKS TO WATER ACTIVITY REDUCTION

Unlike the water content of a formulation, which specifies the total volume of water including molecularly
bound water, water activity (aw) is a measure of the “free”, unbound water within a product. This unbound
water is freely accessible for microorganisms and they can use it for reproduction. Conversely, restricting the
availability of unbound water causes deterioration of microbial growth conditions.

Pure water has an aw value of 1. Adding small, hydrophilic molecules binds water on the basis of intermolecular
interactions and reduces the aw value accordingly. In order to reduce the aw value of a skincare emulsion
to such an extent that microorganisms are impaired in their ability to grow, high amounts of water-binding
substances are needed. However, such high amounts exceed the recommended concentrations of indivi-
dual ingredients and can have a negative impact on the formulation‘s sensory properties. Cosphaderm®
Absolute contains a combination of the substances sodium lactate, propanediol and betaine in an ideally tu-
ned ratio. As a result, using this blend creates stable formulations with efficient aw reduction and excellent
skin sensation.

The antimicrobial effect of Cosphaderm® Absolute has been proven in numerous challenge tests. It can be
excellently combined with other Cosphaderm® Multifunctionals, guaranteeing mild and skin-friendly, yet
remarkably good antimicrobial protection for formulations. Here you can see an example of the excellent
results obtained in a challenge test:

addition to standard analyses, such as purity and content analyses, we can also fulfil individual analysis
requests. All tests are carried out using validated, highly sensitive methods. By additionally contracting
selected, accredited special laboratories, we can reliably exclude a wide range of contaminants and gu-

 CODE OF
CONDUCT
PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS

Protecting human rights is of the highest importance for us, for example by rejecting forced labour, child
labour, exploitation, human trafficking, discrimination and deprivation of liberty. We stand for security and
physical integrity, for freedom of thought, conscience and religion, for the right to freedom of expression
and for freedom of association and assembly. In this context we take a stand for diversity and reject any
form of discrimination, bullying, sexual harassment or coercion.

APPRECIATION AND MOTIVATION

Another important theme for us is health and safety in the workplace. We take numerous measures to
protect the physical well-being of all employees, service providers and partners. In addition, we offer a
high level of workplace flexibility, which includes remote working, flexible working hours and part-time
working. Employment contracts are formulated in a fair way, and we either avoid the need for overtime or
recompense it.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR PEOPLE AND NATURE

Naturally, we comply with environmental laws, but we also go significantly further in many areas. We are
committed to supporting biodiversity and focus on products made from renewable raw materials with
the COSMOS, NATRUE, RSPO and Bio certifications. We organise our daily work according to eco-friendly
criteria. We are committed to always dealing with our partners, customers, suppliers and service providers
in a fair, solution-based and trusting manner and in a spirit of partnership. We are therefore unequivocally
opposed to price dumping, fraudulent activities, corruption and dishonest conduct, as well as to playing
one party off against the other.

ENSURING QUALITY AND KEEPING INFORMATION SECURE

To ensure product safety and quality, we work with a comprehensive quality management system. For
example, Cosphatec has its own laboratory with extensive analysis capabilities that exceed market
standards. Cosphatec is continuously changing. Which is why we ensure cross-organisational sensitivity
for the values we have set down in the Cosphatec Code of Conduct.
