The moisturizing properties of Seppic's Montanov emulsifiers demonstrated on different phototypes

A subsidiary of Air Liquide Healthcare, Seppic designs, produces and distributes a wide range of specialty ingredients. Faced with a growing demand for inclusive skincare solutions to meet diverse needs worldwide, the company conducted tests on phototypes ranging from II to VI to assess the performance of its Montanov range of oil/water emulsifiers for skin hydration. 

Montanov 202 and Montanov L were tested in minimalist oil-in-water emulsions, without active ingredients, adapted to consumer formulation preferences in five countries on different continents: France, China, India, Brazil and Mauritius in Africa. 

The feel and texture of the formulas have been adapted to regional expectations: Montanov L offers light formulas for hot, humid climates, while Montanov 202 creates richer textures for temperate regions.

According to Seppic, the results of corneometry in vivo demonstrated significant hydration effects throughout the day with Montanov L, up to 24 hours after application. These benefits were observed on people included in the study in Brazil (+9.8 %), Mauritius (+24.5 %) and India (+14.8 %).  

For Montanov 202, Seppic reports that results showed significant moisturizing effects in the short term (+34 % after 30 minutes in China and +38 % after 90 minutes in France) and medium term (+16.8 % after 8 hours in China and +20 % after 5 hours in France). 

"The clinical data collected in these five countries underline the complementary nature of Montanov. These emulsifiers thus provide increased hydration, for a wide range of phototypes and environments, making them an ideal solution for the global market."Seppic stresses.
