Phenolic multivalent ion crosslinking: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Oxidative stress from free radicals degrades skin integrity and accelerates aging. These formulations engineer specific chemical pathways to trigger the body's internal protective mechanisms.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Phenolic multivalent ion crosslinking?

Keratin fiber structural degradation

(4)evidences

Loss of internal protein integrity and surface adhesion leads to brittle hair and scalp aging. Restoring structural cohesion prevents breakage and aesthetic decline.

Oxidative skin cell damage

(2)evidences

Endogenous defense mechanisms against free radicals are insufficient to prevent cellular degradation. Strengthening these defenses mitigates premature aging and tissue breakdown.
