Faced with regulations on silicones, Seppic with Emogreen, offers a biodegradable, high-performance alternative to meet consumer demands for sustainable hair care.

At a time when consumers are increasingly demanding naturalness and sustainability in hair care, Seppic has positioned itself with Emogreen. This range of plant-based, biodegradable emollients offers an effective, environmentally-friendly solution to the declining use of traditional silicones, often criticized for their non-biodegradability and negative environmental effects.

Performance confirmed by sensory analysis

A comparative analysis has demonstrated the sensory similarity between traditional silicone oils and Emogreen. For example, Emogreen L15 effectively mimics Dimethicone 5cst, with comparable sensory properties but less greasy residue on hair fibers, while offering a perfect alternative to volatile silicones like D5 and D6.

Seppic has also developed a matching identification tool enabling formulators to replace silicones while retaining essential properties such as shine and volume control. The range excels particularly in volume control for textured hair, as illustrated by Emogreen HP 40, and frizz control with Emogreen C69.

By combining innovation and natural performance, Seppic offers consumers a premium sensory experience with Emogreen, a solution that is anchored in the current trend towards naturally-sourced cosmetics. This innovation paves the way for sustainable hair care products, adapted to the impending regulatory challenges.

Pet Care: a booming market with changing requirements

The Pet Care market is experiencing spectacular growth, driven by the increasing humanization of pets and the quest for ever safer, more effective products. This dynamic is drawing attention to a major challenge: how can we develop animal care products that are effective, safe and compliant with an increasingly demanding regulatory framework?

Unlike cosmetics, Pet Care products are not covered by Regulation (EC) n°1223/2009, but by Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety. They are also subject to REACH and CLP regulations. Depending on their composition and claims, some may even fall within the scope of biocides or veterinary medicines, making their development particularly complex.

In France, Bill 1711 (July 2025) now puts the spotlight on groomers' health, while the industry as a whole recognizes a dual responsibility: to ensure product safety for both animals and humans - owners and professionals alike.

Approaches differ from country to country:

  • In Switzerland, products are subject to chemicals legislation; ;
  • In Australia, the model is inspired by the veterinary field, with flexible thresholds; ;
  • In China, standard GB/T 43839 (2024) lays down new safety criteria incorporating foreseeable and abusive uses.

Eurofins C&PC: expertise at the service of Pet Care quality and safety

In this constantly changing environment, Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care places its scientific and regulatory expertise at the service of manufacturers and formulators. Its offer covers all the needs of the sector:

  • Regulatory & Toxicology SDS, labeling, UFI, notification to poison control center ;
  • Chemical analysis challenge test (ISO 11930), allergens, heavy metals ;
  • Studies in vitro Eye and skin irritation (OECD 492 and 439) ;
  • Clinical studies Patch test, HRIPT, open test, coat quality assessment (gloss, brushing, etc.), sniff test, use test; ;
  • Consumer tests / Home-Use Trial

Thanks to an approach combining science, compliance and innovation, Eurofins C&PC helps its partners develop safe, high-performance and compliant Pet Care products, inspiring trust and loyalty in a market where animal welfare and human safety go hand in hand.

SGS has published a new white paper detailing state-of-the-art non-invasive techniques for assessing skin health and longevity. The document aims to provide researchers with scientifically validated strategies for evaluating products.

The key mechanisms of skin aging

SGS has unveiled its latest white paper entitled Skin longevity: from ancient wisdom to modern clinical evaluation. This document focuses on the biological mechanisms that influence skin aging, such as cellular senescence, oxidative stress and telomere shortening.

Non-invasive tools and integrated clinical protocols

The white paper also explores the non-invasive tools that are revolutionizing clinical skin examination. These methodologies include macro imaging, biomechanical testing and biomarker analysis, enabling the production of objective, reproducible data. SGS emphasizes the importance of these techniques in supporting evidence-based product claims. The combined use of visual, functional and molecular measurements creates a robust multidimensional framework for product innovation.

The outlook for the future in this sector remains promising, with the development of ‘omics’ technologies and standardized clinical protocols. These developments pave the way for significant improvements in consumer confidence and innovation in dermo-cosmetic products.
