Micellar surfactant phase architecture: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Liquid formulations suffer from microbial instability and high shipping weights. Controlling the solid-state particle structure of cleaning agents eliminates the need for preservatives while maintaining rapid dissolution.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Micellar surfactant phase architecture?

Inconvenient liquid formulation transport

(4)evidences

Traditional liquid surfactant formulations suffer from chemical degradation and phase separation over time. Transitioning to powdered or ready-to-use formats prevents premature ingredient interaction and extends shelf life.

High water consumption and bulk

(3)evidences

Conventional synthetic surfactants cause epidermal barrier disruption and inflammatory responses. Utilizing bio-based alternatives reduces dermatological toxicity while maintaining cleansing efficacy.

Inadequate solid cleanser dissolution

(1)evidences

Mechanical interfaces suffer from excessive heat and material loss during high-pressure contact. Reducing these forces prevents component failure and energy loss.
