Seppic innovates with Sepifriend, its new range of ingredients dedicated to the care of pets, optimizing both their health and well-being.
With the global pet population exceeding one billion, the pet care market is experiencing significant growth, with an expected CAGR of 5.7 % between 2022 and 2030. This trend is fueled by the increasingly important place occupied by pets in households, particularly in Europe and the United States.
To meet this demand, Seppic has created Sepifriend, a brand new range of specialty ingredients for pet care.
Sepifriend offers a complete solution with 11 ingredients developed to meet the needs of formulators of hygiene, care and food supplements for pets. The range includes: foaming and solubilizing agents, rheology modifiers, an emulsifier, an emollient, topical active ingredients with dermo-purifying, soothing and skin-repairing functions, and even a nutraceutical active ingredient to help treat common skin and coat problems in dogs.
With an approach dedicated to pets, Seppic ensures that every Sepifriend ingredient undergoes a rigorous process, including thorough chemical and toxicological assessments. A major innovation underpins this commitment to safety: the development of a toxicological model. in vitro on reconstructed canine epidermis, developed in collaboration with a partner.
This model demonstrates good cutaneous tolerance of topical ingredients, making them suitable for pet care formulations for rinse-off and/or leave-on use.
Marine Pasquier, Market Manager Pet Care at Seppic, said: " The launch of a range dedicated to pet care is a natural and coherent development for Seppic, given its expertise in the fields of animal health, cosmetics and nutrition. This new offer provides formulators with clear advice and solutions for developing products tailored to the specific needs of pets. "
