Technical Details & Test Data

Test Data

Versagel® MG 500 T - Test Data

A moisturization clinical study measuring transepidermal water loss (TEWL) showed that the gelled hydrogenated poly (C6-14 olefin) (Versagel MG 750) outperformed the neat hydrogenated poly (C6-14 olefin) throughout the test period. The test demonstrates that Versagel MG 750 exhibits better occlusivity and barrier function improvement on skin than the same substrate ungelled.
