In recent years, consumers have been looking for finished products with a short Inci list, no controversial ingredients, limited environmental impact and a high level of naturalness. As such, formulators are adapting by selecting ingredients that meet these expectations.
In response to this demand, Seppic explored the potential of Sepiclear G7 (Heptyl Glucoside), its multifunctional eco-responsible solubilizer, and revealed its preservation-boosting properties.
The challenge tests, carried out in accordance with ISO 11930, proved that Sepiclear G7 can reduce the percentage of preservatives used to reach criterion A. As a result, formulators can use fewer preservatives and still achieve the same level of protection.
This is due to its hydrotropic property, which increases the solubility of preservatives in the formula and reduces water activity, thus enhancing the performance of the preservative system.
Sepiclear G7 is a natural 100 % liquid1 easily biodegradable2It is used as an effective solubilizer for perfumes and essential oils, with non-foaming properties. It has good make-up-removing efficacy and improves the microscopic appearance of gel-creams without impacting viscosity.
1. Content of natural origin according to ISO 16 128
2. 82.25 % degradation in 28 days, within the 10-day window, according to OECD 301F guidelines.
