Solidified surfactant matrix structuring: ColgateRecent Research Landscape

Instability in aqueous delivery systems leads to ingredient degradation and high shipping costs. Engineering the structural integrity of solid-phase formulations ensures shelf stability and controlled release of active skin care agents.

What technical problems is Colgate addressing in Solidified surfactant matrix structuring?

Poor dermal active delivery

(13)evidences

Low permeability of the skin barrier prevents effective absorption of essential nutrients and amino acids. Overcoming this limitation ensures therapeutic concentrations of actives reach target tissue layers.

Solid form structural instability

(11)evidences

Solid personal care formats frequently suffer from physical disintegration, cracking, or softening during use and storage. Resolving these mechanical failures ensures product longevity and consistent delivery of active ingredients.

Unstable active ingredient delivery

(7)evidences

Formulations in personal care often suffer from premature degradation or poor deposition of functional components. Stabilizing these actives within a matrix ensures consistent efficacy and shelf-life.

Structural instability in gels

(4)evidences

Chronic inflammatory conditions like atopic dermatitis and rosacea represent a failure of the skin's protective barrier and immune regulation. Addressing these specific pathologies restores physiological integrity and prevents secondary infections.
