Anhydrous powder conditioning matrix: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Liquid formulations suffer from chemical instability and high shipping costs due to water weight. Engineering the powder morphology and flowability ensures stable active ingredient delivery and precise consumer dosing.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Anhydrous powder conditioning matrix?

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(5)evidences

Standard hair cleansing formulations require significant water volume and time to remove surfactant residues. Reducing rinse duration improves consumer convenience and environmental sustainability.

Inconsistent product dispensing viscosity

(4)evidences

Powdered cleansing agents are difficult for consumers to apply and distribute evenly in their raw state. Converting these powders into ready-to-use fluid formats at the point of use ensures functional efficacy and user compliance.

Inadequate surfactant stability and solubility

(1)evidences

Conventional synthetic surfactants cause epidermal barrier disruption and dryness. Utilizing biosurfactants addresses the inherent toxicity and harshness of traditional cleansing agents.
