GEMSEAL : Emollients for cosmetics

GEMSEAL are alkanes with INCI from C13-15 Alkanes to C21-28 Alkane

GEMSEAL range of alkanes: hydrocarbon emollients for cosmetics

Very stable and readily biodegradable, GEMSEAL® emollients combine unrivalled purity with perfect skin tolerance and a broad array of sensorial qualities.

Extremely easy to implement, very safe, colorless and offering high UV stability, GEMSEAL® hydrocarbon emollients are particularly recommended for the formulation of dermo-cosmetic products.

The Gemseal range offers excellent compatibility with vegetable oils, silicone oils or emulsifiers available on the market.

GEMSEAL® alkanes offer a comprehensive range of hydrocarbon emollient solutions with subtle texture grading. Their qualities make them fully suitable for all types of beauty product formulation:

Gemseal inert oils give access to a comprehensive palette of viscosity to address all types of formulas from skincare, hygiene and make up to hair care and sun care products.

Gemseal 25 is a volatile alkane with unique sensory properties: dry touch, a significant evaporation rate and ease of spreading. It is a good alternative tocyclomethicone and isododecane.
Gemseal 40 is brighter than Gemseal 25; it also has a dry touch and a significant evaporation rate. It is a good alternative to cyclomethicone,dimethicone and isododecane.
Gemseal 60, emollient less volatile, delivers a softer and more generous touch. It is particularly suited to the formulation of hair care products or cream. It is a good alternative to dimethiconol and isohexadecane.
Gemseal 120 is the brightest alkane in the range. Its rich and creamy sensory properties (but never greasy) make it particularly suitable for cream formulation. It is a good alternative to isohexadecane or low-viscosity white oils.

	Gemseal 25	Gemseal 40	Gemseal 60	Gemseal 120
Vicosity (40°C) cst	2.5	4.0	6.0	11
INCI	C13-15 alkane	C15-19 alkane	C18-21 alkane	C21-28 alkane

These emollients are extremely pures. They are free of volatile aromatic compounds, heavy metals, phthalates, CMR, or allergens.

Non irritant to skin and eye (OECD guideline N°404 and OECD guideline N°405)
Non mutagenic (B. N. AMES Method)
Non comedogenic (Clinical study)
No oral and dermal toxicity (OECD guideline N°401 and OECD guideline N°402)
Non-occlusive
Non-sensitizing (Repeated patch test)

All Gemseal emollients are biodegradable (OECD 301F).

The Gemseal cosmetic emollients obtained the TotalEnergies Ecosolutions labeldue to the significant advantage they bring in terms of environmental impact. Indeed, they are classified as "readily biodegradable" (GHS / CLP) and they reduce emissions of greenhouse gas by 86 % compared to silicone oils used in this market.

For the significant advantage they offer in terms of environmental impact, GEAMSEAL cosmetic emollients have been awarded the TotalEnergies Ecosolution label: for their best efficiency in line with their lower impact on both human health and environment.
