In 2022, Seppic launched a new inherently biodegradable emollient of plant origin, EMOGREEN™ HP 40 (INCI: C15-19 Alkane, Hydrogenated Polyfarnesene), to meet formulators' demand for alternatives to heavy silicones, particularly in hair care.
Seppic's new tests reinforce the potential of EMOGREEN™ HP 40. Demonstrating its benefits on hair shine and color retention. In addition, comparative results to silicones for the skin care market have been demonstrated.
Natural Alternative to Silicones
In hair care,
EMOGREEN™ HP 40 applied undiluted to dry curly hair showed comparable performance. This performance is in terms of shine to Phenyl Trimethicone, a reference silicone for this claim. In terms of color preservation, EMOGREEN™ HP 40 used in a rinsed mask, helps prevent color fade due to its film-forming properties.
When applied on the skin, EMOGREEN™ HP 40 provides a perceptible feel and a better adaptation to the skin's relief than silicones, for a great sensation of comfort. In addition, formulated as an emulsion, EMOGREEN™ HP 40 demonstrates, unlike silicones, ease of spreading and absorption of the oil droplets of the emulsion on the skin. As a result, it forms a flexible, even, and full-coverage film.
With EMOGREEN™ HP 40, Seppic meets one of today's major technical challenges: Offering a natural alternative to silicones with the same level of performance.
