Seppic enriches Emogreen HP40 test results with hair and skin care benefits.
With Emogreen HP40 (Inci: C15-19 Alkane, Hydrogenated Polyfarnesene), Seppic offers a natural alternative to silicones. Launched in 2022, this intrinsically biodegradable emollient of plant origin meets the demand from formulators looking for alternatives to heavy silicones, particularly for hair care.
Seppic has carried out new tests to clarify a number of points concerning hair and skin, reinforcing the potential of Emogreen HP40.
The company reports that Emogreen HP40, applied undiluted to dry curly hair, demonstrated comparable shine performance to Phenyl Trimethicone, a leading silicone for this claim.
Used in a rinsed-off mask, Seppic's emollient also helps prevent color fading thanks to its film-forming properties.
According to Seppic, when applied to the skin, Emogreen HP40 provides a real feeling of comfort, hugging the skin's contours better than silicones.
What's more, formulated as an emulsion, Emogreen HP40 spreads easily and absorbs oil droplets from the emulsion onto the skin, an advantage over silicones. It forms a flexible, homogeneous, full-coverage film.
