Seppic recently introduced Sepifriend, a range of specialty ingredients designed exclusively for pet hygiene, care and supplementation. This addresses the growing demand for high-quality pet care products, driven by the increasing role of pets as cherished members of households worldwide.
11 Pet-friendly Ingredients
Sepifriend offers 11 ingredients tailored to the unique requirements of pet care formulators. The range includes:
- Foaming and solubilizing agents,
- Rheology modifiers,
- An emulsifier and emollient,
- Topical active ingredients with dermo-purifying, soothing and skin-repairing properties and
- An active supplement to support skin and coat health in dogs.
Committed to Safety: Canine Test Substrate
Seppic’s commitment to safety and innovation is at the heart of the Sepifriend line, per the company. Each ingredient reportedly undergoes rigorous chemical and toxicological assessments to ensure suitability for pets.
A standout feature of this initiative is the development of an innovative in vitro toxicological model on a Reconstructed Canine Epidermis, created in collaboration with a partner. This model is said to confirm the excellent skin tolerance of the topical ingredients, making them ideal for both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.
Catering to Companion Animals
Marine Pasquier, Pet Care market manager at Seppic, shared: "With Seppic’s expertise in animal health, cosmetics and nutrition, launching a range exclusively dedicated to pet care is a natural and logical progression. Sepifriend provides formulators with clear guidance and innovative solutions to create products that cater to the specific needs of companion animals."
Seppic’s Sepifriend line is set to redefine pet care formulations, offering a trusted and innovative approach to enhancing the well-being of pets around the globe.
