Today, consumers are looking for cosmetics that meet the specific needs of their skin type. Inclusivity is now as important a demand as hydration, one of the most sought-after claims for all skin types.
To meet this demand, Seppic has re-explored the potential of its iconic Aquaxyl moisturizer, to demonstrate its performance on phototype 1 to 6 skin types.
Corneometry and IWL (insensible water loss) measurements of different skin types were compared after eight hours to 30 days of application of a cream containing Aquaxyl 3% or a placebo. According to Seppic, Aquaxyl provides short- and long-term hydration for all skin types.
Aquaxyl is a natural 100% active ingredient1easily biodegradable2 and preservative-free, obtained thanks to a patented sugar technology that respects the principles of green chemistry and uses no solvents.
This ingredient activates the three key mechanisms of natural hydration: "It reinforces barrier effects, optimizes water reserves and maximizes water circulation in the epidermis. What's more, it demonstrates excellent tolerance for sensitive or irritated skin, eye and gum tolerance, baby care and intimate care".says Seppic.
1. Content of natural origin according to ISO 16 128.
