Last update on Dec 6, 2024
In response to the growing demand for inclusive skin care solutions to suit globally diverse needs, has conducted tests on phototypes ranging from II to VI to evaluate the performance of its range of oil/water , Montanov™, for skin hydration.Emulsifiers Provide Increased Hydration
Montanov™ 2021 and Montanov™ L2 were tested in minimalist, active-free oil-in-water emulsions tailored to consumer formulation preferences in five countries on different continents: France, China, India, Brazil, and Mauritius in Africa. The feel and texture of the formulas have been adapted to regional expectations: Thus Montanov™ L offers light formulas for hot, humid climates, while Montanov™ 202 creates richer textures for temperate regions.
Corneometry in vivo results demonstrated significant hydration effects throughout the day with Montanov™ L, up to 24 hours after application. These benefits were observed in people included in the study in Brazil (+9.8%), Mauritius (+24.5%), and India (+14.8%).
For Montanov™ 202, results showed significant moisturizing effects in the short term (+34% after 30 minutes in China and +38% after 90 minutes in France) and medium term (+16.8% after 8 hours in China and +20% after 5 hours in France).
The clinical data gathered in these five countries underline the complementary nature of the ingredients in the Montanov™ range. These emulsifiers thus provide increased hydration, for a wide range of phototypes and environments, making them an ideal solution for the global market.
