Surfactant based cleansing formulation: BeiersdorfRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent foam stability and skin irritation risks drive up formulation failure rates. Precise control of the surfactant blend ratio optimizes micelle formation to ensure mildness and cleansing efficacy.

What technical problems is Beiersdorf addressing in Surfactant based cleansing formulation?

Undetectable residual surfactant film

(6)evidences

Difficulty in determining when cleaning agents are fully rinsed from surfaces leads to irritation or film buildup. Precise detection of rinsing progress prevents product wastage and ensures surface purity.

Inadequate foam structural stability

(6)evidences

Liquid surfactant systems suffer from microbial degradation and chemical instability due to high water activity. Eliminating bulk water through solid or film formats prevents formula breakdown and reduces packaging volume.

Surfactant induced skin irritation

(2)evidences

Standard surfactant systems cause irritation and lipid depletion during mechanical friction or facial washing. Minimizing this damage preserves epidermal integrity and prevents post-cleansing inflammation.

Incomplete removal of hydrophobic residues

(1)evidences

Biosurfactant formulations often suffer from inadequate viscosity and phase separation. Stabilizing the flow behavior ensures consistent product delivery and shelf life.
