Seppic is launching Sepiclear G7, a 100% natural and sustainable solubiliser targeting the cosmetics market. The product has already won the Pierre Potier prize, awarded for innovation in sustainable chemistry.
Sepiclear G7 (proposed INCI name: Heptyl Glucoside) is a concentrated non-ionic surfactant that is readily biodegradable, obtained in compliance with the 12 greenchemistry principles. It is derived from sugar and castor seeds, with sources 100% of vegetal origin (certified by the Association Chimie du Végétal).
As a natural solubiliser, Sepiclear G7, meets the growing need of firms in the cosmetics industry for substances to replace artificially synthesised ingredients.
Sepiclear G7 solubilises lipophilic compounds, notably essential oils, perfumes and vitamin E, in aqueous media. Unlike other natural solubilisers, it does not produce foam, which is a fundamental point in formulating cosmetic products such as toners, toiletries and aqueous gels.
