In today's market, consumers seek more than just natural products. When discussing eco-designed cosmetics, packaging often comes to mind first. However, the formula and ingredient selection plays a significant role in this consideration. This means choosing ingredients based on various criteria, such as biodegradability, origin, and social impact, while also considering the potential for minimalist formulations, without sacrificing the sensory profile and the performance.

Take on the challenge with Seppic by exploring our insights on achieving the perfect balance between naturalness, performance, and sensory, thanks to our Montanov™ range!

With MONTANOV™ range, you can easily meet the growing demand for sustainable beauty without compromising on product quality and efficacy!

MONTANOV™: IN A NUTSHELL

MONTANOV™ is a range of natural emulsifiers specifically designed for the formulation of eco-friendly emulsions. These emulsifiers are recognized for their ability to create stable, aesthetically pleasing, and sustainable products, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally conscious beauty and skincare solutions.

MONTANOV™: AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY LINE

The MONTANOV™ grades corresponding to non-ionic glucolipids (APG) combining glucose with fatty alcohols are based on renewable vegetable origin.

• They all have an excellent naturality profile NOC = 100% (ISO 16128).

• They are from 100% renewable origin carbon.

• They are COSMOS approved and readily biodegradable (according to OECD 301).

The production of MONTANOV™ follows green chemistry principles, minimizing energy consumption and waste during the manufacturing process: "Nothing is lost, everything is transformed".

• Obtention of a glucoside sludge

• Treatment by methanisation to produce biogas, then converted into electricity.

• The digestate resulting is then used as a natural fertilizer in farming activities, near the Seppic manufacturing site.

=> This waste recovery process enables 100% of the waste to be valorized and reduces CO2 emissions by -100 tons/year which is equivalent to:

MONTANOV™: AN EASY-TO-USE & PERFORMANT RANGE

• ALL-IN-ONE emulsifier: Self emulsifying base → No need of a co-emulsifier

• EASIER emulsification process: No need to calculate the HLB → Saving formulation time

• Highly STABLE emulsions: with the formation of liquid crystals

• Great VERSATILITY: Formulation of various consistency and textures for all types of applications

→ Montanov™ line can create ultra-white, shine, and smooth emulsions, from a light and soft skin feel to a rich skin feel.

MONTANOV™: MULTIFUNCTIONAL EMULSIFIERS, SUITABLE FOR A "LESS IS MORE" APPROACH

The Montanov™ line corresponds to bio-compatible emulsifiers, thanks to the similar organization of lamellar phases to epidermis lipids for excellent skin affinity and strengthening of the skin barrier function. This enhances the efficacy of formulations while answering the trend to formulate with a minimalist approach.

Therefore, they bring additional benefits to your formulations:

• ACTIVE properties on the skin: immediate restructuring effect / moisturization / skin texture visibly smoother

• Capacity to BOOST active efficacy

• Excellent TOLERANCE
