Alkaline persulfate keratin solubilization: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Melanin degradation in hair fibers causes structural damage and unpredictable lift if the chemical reaction kinetics are unmanaged. This lever controls the oxidative strength and pH stability to ensure uniform lightening without compromising fiber integrity.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Alkaline persulfate keratin solubilization?

Keratin fiber oxidative damage

(31)evidences

Aggressive lightening agents cause irreversible degradation of the hair shaft. Minimizing fiber breakdown during chemical processing preserves hair integrity and tactile quality.

Keratin fiber pigment instability

(10)evidences

Chemical incompatibility between oxidative bleaching agents and synthetic dyes often leads to uneven color results or fiber damage. Achieving uniform lift and deposition in a single step prevents structural degradation and aesthetic variability.
