Today’s consumers consider their hair damaged by default. Repair is no longer an optional effect, it is a baseline expectation for every product, from daily shampoos to leave-ons. To meet this demand, Seppic, has unveiled groundbreaking evaluation data for its MONTANOV™ range. Traditionally known for their great benefits on the skin, MONTANOV™ range has been proven to create active textures for hair care as well.
The new scientific findings demonstrate how these eco-designed, glucolipid emulsifiers achieve high-performance hair restoration through biomimetic textures containing liquid crystal structure, successfully bridging the gap between clinical efficacy and exceptional sensoriality.
The application of an emulsion with MONTANOV™ 202 on damaged hair restores the lipid organization compared to natural hair and creates a protective film at the surface of the hair. It also demonstrated the capacity to boost the activity of traditional hair care active ingredients.
The repairing effect of MONTANOV™ 202 has been highlighted thanks to XPolar® technology, which makes it possible to study the structural disorganization of keratin. It has been demonstrated that MONTANOV™ 202 has the capacity to repair damaged hair up to 71%.
Furthermore, a recent test highlights that, in addition to its restorative effect, the MONTANOV™ line offers the high sensory profile sought after by formulators.
While MONTANOV™ 202 provides a light sensoriality and a matte finish and MONTANOV™ L is the specialist for a soft and light skin feel with an easy spreading, they also both present a great compatibility with all types of cationic conditioning polymers and they improve cationic affinity with the hair fiber.
Natural, readily biodegradable, developed and manufactured according to the Green Chemistry 12 pillars, the MONTANOV™ range is composed of highly tolerated non-ionic emulsifiers for versatile textures, able to emulsion up to 60% of all types of oily phase and compatible with most actives including cationics.
