Végétol®

Laboratoires Xérès

Description :
Végetol® innovation is an ingredient used as a carrier in liquid formulations for electronic cigarettes, e-liquid without propylene glycol, is of exclusively natural origin. It is obtained by biofermentation of vegetable glycerin. It’s basically a process of green chemistry. Végétol® innovation is therefore perfectly suited for an e-liquid without propylene glycol.

Végetol® innovation was developed in collaboration with numerous academic research teams: the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Poitiers, the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne (biophysics of aerosols), Armines laboratory specialized in the toxicology of inhaled particles.

As the first alternative to propylene glycol and vegetal glycerin, Végetol® ingredient is a compound with amazing properties and particularly suitable for e-cigarettes:
> Non-irritant for airways: it is the only alternative for the consumer allergic to propylene glyol
> Because of its properties, Végetol® innovation allows rapid assimilation of nicotine for a cigarette-like satisfaction.
> A powerful flavour enhancer that significantly reduces the flavors concentrations of e-liquids for a healthier vaping. With a high thermal stability, it does not react at high temperature with the other components of the e-liquid.

From an environmental point of view, a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) carried out according to the standards in force confirms the very great superiority of the Végétol® innovation over propylene glycol. Propylene glycol comes from petroleum and produces more greenhouse gas emissions than the Végétol® innovation.

Végétol® is a patented innovation that was published internationally in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Scientific Reports in 2018.
