The human skin is a natural protective shield that is constantly exposed to UV radiation, air pollution and unhealthy ways of living such as smoking and alcohol consumption. These external factors lead to oxidative stress and accelerate skin ageing. Cosmetic formulations are also affected by oxidative influences, meaning that the oils they contain can become rancid. However, these processes can be significantly inhibited by using suitable antioxidants. As a natural constituent of many plants, antioxidants neutralise free radicals with their radical scavenging or electron donor properties, rendering them harmless. Cosphatec, a leading international raw materials manufacturer based in Hamburg, has set itself the task of developing sustainable and innovative solutions for modern natural cosmetics. With a focus on natural and skin-friendly ingredients, Cosphatec offers more than 70 products that fulfil the current standards of natural cosmetics and offer additional positive benefits for the formulation or the skin in addition to product protection.
