Thickening agents
Thickeners and gelling agents are essential components of cosmetic formulations. The quality of these substances has a
significant influence on the skin feel and the stability of cosmetic products. Our Xanthan Gums are highly transparent,
stable and vegan. Cosphatec’s unique Konjac Gum is a natural, vegan gelling agent and is characterised by the strongest
increase in viscosity that a natural product can offer.

Active Substances
Active substances are cosmetic ingredients that provide a defined effect on the skin and the human body. Therefore, we
only offer exceptionally effective raw materials which, even in low concentrations, have a verifiable and compelling po-
sitive impact on your formulation. Since most of our active substances are of natural origin they are usually certified or
compliant with common eco-labels.
