Cosphaderm® GeMix RSPO/MB (INCI: Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Undecylenate) is a 100% natural, multifunctional liquid blend. By combining two high-purity glyceryl esters—Caprylate and Undecylenate—this blend provides a broad-spectrum antimicrobial profile that simultaneously offers emollient and re-fatting benefits.
Key Benefits and Performance
-
Synergistic Antimicrobial Defense: The blend leverages the complementary strengths of two medium-chain fatty acid esters. Glyceryl Caprylate targets bacteria and yeasts, while Glyceryl Undecylenate provides a powerful boost against moulds.
-
Broad pH Versatility: Unlike organic acids that require low pH (below 5.5), this ester-based system is optimized for a wider pH range.
-
Skin & Hair Conditioning: Beyond preservation, it functions as a “re-fatting” agent, restoring the lipid barrier of the skin and improving the manageability of hair.
-
Co-Emulsifying Properties: Classified as a food-grade emulsifier (E 471), it can support the primary emulsification system, often leading to finer droplet sizes and improved “whiteness” in O/W emulsions.
Formulation Guidelines
-
Incorporation & Solubility:
-
Water Phase: Water-dispersible (forms a turbid solution).
-
Oil Phase: Soluble in oils, alcohols, and diols.
-
Addition: Can be added to either phase, but avoid heating above the recommended temperature for more than 30 minutes to prevent ester hydrolysis.
