Pick Your Polymer
Seppic’s polymers are well known for their ability to thicken and stabilize formulations, even with a high content of oils in cream gels, in order to be easy-to-use and to create enjoyable textures for the consumers!
Since the launch of the iconic Sepigel 305™, the range has extended significantly to offer a variety of skin feel, performances, natural content,...
Let’s go over all your options
Seppic’s liquid polymers are obtained by inverse emulsion polymerization technology. Read more about our polymerization technologies here.
They come in a water-in-oil emulsion form, where the polymer is trapped into water droplets. During the formulation process, a spontaneous phase inversion happens when the water is added, leading to an oil-in-water emulsion where the polymer swells and can thicken and stabilize the formulation.
No need for neutralization, high shear nor surfactant, the polymers are easy to use and cold processable if needed !
In the range, discover Seppic classic liquid grades : SepigelTM, SimulgelTM & SepilifeTM and the concentrated liquid grades, effective from low dosage : SepiplusTM.
Seppic’s powder polymers are concentrated, and therefore effective from a low dosage. They can create translucent or even transparent gels due to their reduced (or absent) oil content. They can also be used in cold process if wanted.
The SepinovTM range comes from the inverse emulsion polymerisation technology above followed by a drying step while SepimaxTM range is obtained by precipitation polymerization technology, creating high performance polymers.
Seppic has a polymer proposal for all your textures and skin feel:
Don’t hesitate to ask us to help you find the right one depending on the product you want to create. We have a sensoriality mapping of our polymers to guide you.
All Seppic polymers have been evaluated for their multifunctional performance (thickening, emulsifying-stabilizing, texturizing), tested over a wide pH range, with different types of oils. They have demonstrated good compatibility with solvents, mineral filters and screens, color pigments, …
Seppic has identified the most performing grades for specific properties needed in formulation such as:
Compatibility with DHA, hydrogen peroxide, inorganic sunscreens, hydrophilic pigments
Seppic provides the naturality index according to the ISO 16128 norm for all its polymers. SepilifeTM Nude is the grade presenting the highest naturality. Need for 100% naturality? Discover our SolagumTM range, natural thickeners that are performant and will improve the texture and skin feel of natural personal care products.
Think energy saving ! Our polymers are cold processable and will help to reduce energy consumption and manufacturing time compared to classical hot-process. An ecological gesture for the planet !
Seppic proposes a large range of polymeric thickeners and stabilizers to offer formulators unique performance and infinite sensory experiences. A wide range of ingredients and solutions to design the cosmetics of tomorrow.
