Seppic unveils comprehensive sensory data for cosmetic ingredients

FRANCE – Seppic has unveiled comprehensive new sensory characterization data for its rheology modifiers, emulsifiers, and emollients, providing formulators with deeper insights into ingredient performance and sensory attributes.

The study has been conducted regarding the growing demand for precise sensory data in cosmetic formulation.

The newly released data offers a detailed analysis of Seppic’s emollient ranges, including Emogreen and Emosmart, comparing them against benchmarks such as mineral oils, silicones, and squalane. 

The study highlights key variations in glide, playtime, viscosity, and overall skin feel, enabling formulators to refine their ingredient choices based on desired sensory outcomes. 

Emosmart L15 delivers a lightweight, fast-absorbing touch similar to isododecane, while Emogreen HP 40 provides extended playtime and enhanced skin adhesion, offering a rich and comfortable sensory experience akin to dimethicone.

In addition to emollients, Seppic has conducted a comparative sensory analysis of its polymers, mapping their visual texture, consistency, pick-up, playtime, and skin feel in gel formulations. 

This advanced characterization enables formulators to understand the tactile properties of these ingredients better, ensuring optimal formulation performance.

The analysis encompasses attributes such as penetration, comfort, and post-application skin feel, offering formulators a comprehensive understanding of how these ingredients influence consumer perception.

The company’s commitment to ingredient transparency and formulation excellence reinforces its position as a leader in the field of cosmetic science and product innovation.

Marine Pasquier, market and digital manager of Beauty Care at Seppic, stated, “With this new sensory mapping data, Seppic provides formulators with a decision-making tool, facilitating precise ingredient selection based on both the initial formulation brief and the desired sensory profile of the finished product.” 

“Such detailed information empowers formulators to craft innovative next-generation cosmetic solutions that are effective and offer a superior sensory experience.”

The sensory profiling of Seppic’s emulsifiers further underscores their influence on formula sensoriality, extending beyond their primary function to impact the entire application experience. 

Meanwhile, Seppic introduced Chagadvance, a mushroom-based nutraceutical ingredient derived from organic Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus).

The product is designed for supplement and nutricosmetic applications, offering benefits related to immune health, antioxidant properties, and support for inflammatory conditions. 

It aims to address concerns such as acne, skin redness, and premature ageing, positioning itself as a solution for consumers seeking enhanced wellness and skincare support.
