Following the launch of its dedicated line of ingredients Sepifriend™ for companion animals, Seppic unveils “The tail-ored pet care collection.” This new kit of six formulations provides manufacturers with technical evidence and inspiration needed to address the specific care and hygiene requirements of pets.
With more than half of the global population estimated to have a pet at home (1) and animals playing an 1 increasingly central role in households, the demand for grooming products has reached new heights. By emphasizing the safety of formulations and the natural origin of ingredients, the demand aligns with the sensory standards of the cosmetics industry.
However, animal physiology requires a dedicated approach as pets skin is 3 to 5 times thinner than human skin and maintains a more neutral pH. To answer these specific needs, Seppic has developed a 6-formula collection with its Sepifriend™ ingredients, that balances high naturality with regulatory compliance for a 3-steps care and hygiene routine. These ingredients have been rigorously tested in vitro on Reconstructed Canine Epidermis, demonstrating no impact on tissue viability and suggesting their suitability for leave-on or rinse-off applications.
“The tail-ored pet care collection” demonstrates of Sepifriend™ ingredients effectiveness through a premium three-step routine for dogs, cats or horses:
● Step 1: cleansing sensitive areas (soothing eye contour pet cleanser, gentle pet ear lotion)
● Step 2: coat & skin hygiene (ultra-mild moisturizing & soothing pet shampoo, no-rinse cleansing & purifying foam)
● Step 3: care for specific areas (sprayable shine & coat care, nose & paw balm with centella asiatica)
This kit features high-performance functional ingredients, including sulfate-free foamers, solubilizers, rheology modifiers, emulsifiers and emollients, to create textures with optimal viscosity and sensory profiles adapted to both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s expectations. It also highlights Sepifriend™ active ingredients, which deliver benefits such as long-lasting moisturization, soothing effects, accelerated skin repair and dermo-purifying properties.
This collection demonstrates Seppic’s ability to deliver high-naturality formulas ready to meet the evolving demands of the global market.
