Cosmos Personal Care

It may be time to take a fresh look at Capryloyl Glycine.

Its amphiphilic molecular structure offers an interesting perspective on how Capryloyl Glycine interacts within the skin microenvironment—supporting effective sebum control while extending its potential across skin and scalp care.

Meet our new launch: COSCARE® CG (Capryloyl Glycine).
Designed for versatile formulation possibilities across sebum control, blemish-prone skin care, and dandruff care.

👉 Swipe through to explore the science, performance, and formulation possibilities behind COSCARE® CG.
COSCARE® CG will also be showcased at in-cosmetics Asia. Stop by Booth R50 to discover the product and talk to our team.

Can a shampoo adapt to the climate, not just the scalp?

Consumers increasingly expect products to perform consistently across heat, humidity and seasonal changes.

In our latest formulation guide, we explore this shift and present a climate-adaptive shampoo formulation featuring sulfate-free amino acid surfactants, gentle anti-dandruff care and stable foam performance.

São Paulo, we're coming.

Climate, consumer expectations and formulation technologies are evolving faster than ever.

At in-cosmetics Latin America 2026, we'll be sharing our latest ingredient innovations, along with practical formulation concepts designed for the next generation of personal care.

📍 Stand J72
📅 23–24 September | Expo Center Norte

We're also excited to present our technical seminar:
Looking Ahead: Emerging High-Performance and Safe Sun Protection Solutions

🕒 Wednesday, 23 September | 14:45–15:15

If you're attending the show, we'd love to connect.

See you in São Paulo!

Join COSMOS at Southwest Suppliers' Day 2026 as we showcase our latest innovations in UV filters, green emollients, scalp care and high-performance personal care ingredients.

📍 Booth 500
📅 September 15, 2026
📍 Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas, Texas

Let's explore what's next in personal care, see you in Texas!

A high SPF is expected. Elegant sensory is demanded. But between them? That's where the real formulation challenge lives.

The oil phase isn't just a carrier, it's the decision-maker. It determines filter solubility, SPF efficiency, skin feel, and wearability.

We've taken a closer look at how smarter emollients can unlock more freedom in sunscreen development:

• SUNOBEL® BHB – SPF booster for full-spectrum systems
• CosSoft® DCC – Crystalline UV filter solubilization
• CosSoft® OE – D5-like sensory with improved spreadability

The best sunscreen isn't always the one with the highest SPF.

It's the one people choose to wear every day.

That simple idea is changing how we think about sunscreen formulation.

Instead of optimizing a single performance metric, formulators are increasingly challenged to balance protection with real-world wearability.

Our latest visual guide explores this shift—from consumer behavior to formulation strategy—and shares an example formulation featuring SUNOBEL® NT-15TV-S.

If you're developing the next generation of everyday sunscreen, this might be worth a read.

What if your oil phase is limiting your SPF?

Solubility is only part of the story.

Our latest research explores how the molecular environment created by the oil phase can influence BEMT (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) performance—and why this matters for formulation design.

Discover the key insights in our new SUNOBEL® SHELL (BEMT) Sunscreen Formula Design Guide.

We've Been Asking the Wrong Question About BEMT.

For years, formulators have asked:
"Can this oil dissolve enough Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (BEMT)?"
Our recently published research suggests a different one:
"Can this oil help BEMT perform at its best?"

That shift in thinking may change how we approach sunscreen formulation.

Our study shows that the oil phase is more than just a solvent. By creating different molecular environments around BEMT, oil polarity can influence how efficiently the UV filter absorbs UV energy and dissipates it safely—ultimately affecting photostability, ROS generation and SPF performance.

In other words:

The oil doesn't just carry BEMT. It helps BEMT perform.

This research doesn't replace conventional formulation principles such as solubility—it adds another dimension to designing high-performance sunscreen systems.

These insights are also guiding the formulation support we provide for SUNOBEL® SHELL, our Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine (BEMT) UV filter. Beyond supplying a high-quality UV filter, we believe helping formulators understand the molecular environment around BEMT is equally important to unlocking its full performance.

If you're developing high-SPF or highly photostable sunscreen formulations, we hope this work offers a fresh perspective. We'd be delighted to discuss how these findings can help optimize your next sunscreen formulation with SUNOBEL® SHELL.
