Seppic’s Sugar-based Active Provides Short & Long-term Moisturization on All Skin TypesToday, consumers are looking for products that meet the specific needs of their skin type. As a result, inclusivity is now a consumer demand as important as hydration, one of the sought-after claims for all skin types.

In response to this demand, Seppic re-explored the potential of Aquaxyl™, its natural sugar-based active ingredient reference in moisturization, to demonstrate its performance on the skin from phototypes 1 to 6.

Excellent Tolerance for Sensitive or Irritated Skin


When comparing the measurements of corneometry and TEWL (TransEpidermal Water Loss) of different skin types after 8 hours to 30 days of application of a cream containing Aquaxyl™ 3% or a placebo, Aquaxyl™ provides a short and long-term moisturization on all skin types.

Aquaxyl™ is a 100% natural1, readily biodegradable2 active ingredient without preservatives, thanks to a patented sugars technology that respects green chemistry principles and uses no solvent. It activates the three key mechanisms of natural hydration:

  • It reinforces barrier effects
  • Optimizes water reserves
  • Maximizes water circulation within the epidermis

Moreover, it demonstrates an excellent tolerance for sensitive or irritated skin, ocular & gingival tolerance, baby care, and intimate care.
