Hydrophobic fumed silica dispersion: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Keratin fiber degradation during chemical processing leads to structural breakage and loss of elasticity. These formulations engineer a specific silica-based reinforcement layer to restore fiber integrity and prevent breakage.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Hydrophobic fumed silica dispersion?

Keratin fiber structural degradation

(2)evidences

Structural damage and environmental wear on hair and skin surfaces lead to poor texture and loss of integrity. Addressing this degradation restores the physical properties and appearance of keratinous tissues.

Keratinous fiber surface instability

(1)evidences

Untreated keratinous fibers suffer from poor adhesion and structural degradation during cosmetic application. Addressing this instability ensures long-lasting coating integrity and fiber protection.
