EMOGREEN™ HP 40 (INCI: C15-19 Alkane, Hydrogenated Polyfarnesene) is an emollient from plant origin, to meet formulators' demand for alternatives to heavy silicones in hair care and skin care. 
In hair care, EMOGREEN™ HP40, applied undiluted on dry curly hair, demonstrated comparable performance in terms of shine to Phenyl Trimethicone, a reference silicone forthis claim. Regarding color preservation, EMOGREEN™ HP40, used in a rinsed mask, helps to prevent color to fade thanks to its film-forming properties.
When applied on the skin, EMOGREEN™ HP40 provides a perceptible feel and a better adaptation to the skin's relief than silicones, for a great sensation of comfort. In addition, formulated in emulsion, EMOGREEN™ HP40 demonstrates, unlike silicones, an ease of spreading and quick absorption of the oil droplets of the emulsion on the skin. As a result, it forms a flexible, even and full-coverage film.
