What began with just one product and a strong belief in science-backed natural ingredients has grown into a trusted partner for formulators worldwide.
Driven by the vision of founder Frank Brauns, Cosphatec has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of what is possible in natural preservation. "We have always believed that safety, efficacy and naturalness can go hand in hand - and we are proud that this philosophy is the industry standard today," says Brauns.
What sets Cosphatec apart today is not only the depth of its scientific expertise, but also the breadth and market relevance of its portfolio. With a clear focus on innovation, new product concepts are developed and launched annually to meet evolving formulation needs and regulatory trends. Beyond raw materials, the German company provides comprehensive support along the entire development process: from ingredient selection and certification strategy to formulation assistance, microbial testing, and go-to-market guidance. Our customers benefit from access to a growing library of practical formulations tailored to a wide range of applications.
Products such as natural multifunctional agents with antimicrobial properties - without being officially listed as preservatives - are particularly popular, as are natural thickeners. Cosphatec’s growing portfolio includes innovative emulsifiers, gelling agents, antioxidants, and active ingredients, all supported by a broad collection of application-oriented formulations that are continuously expanded and refined.
Thanks to their two subsidiaries in France and Shanghai and Cospahtecs strong global distribution network built on long-term partnerships, Cosphatec ensures reliable access to its natural ingredients worldwide.
