Anhydrous composite dispersion architecture: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Traditional powder formulations suffer from structural instability and dusting risks without mineral binders. These innovations utilize specific polymer-elastomer networks to stabilize solid aggregates within non-volatile oil phases for talc-free compaction.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Anhydrous composite dispersion architecture?

Active ingredient hydrolytic degradation

(15)evidences

Non-uniform light reflection and poor skin feel in dry formulations. Achieving simultaneous coverage and smooth application requires overcoming particle aggregation and surface friction.

Interfacial instability in anhydrous dispersions

(10)evidences

Traditional anhydrous or wax-based formulations suffer from excessive oiliness and slow absorption. Reducing tactile heaviness while maintaining stability provides a superior sensory profile and consumer acceptance.

Inconsistent pigment dispersion uniformity

(9)evidences

The keywords highlight a failure to balance oil uptake with sensory properties in powder formulations. Addressing this limitation prevents product instability and poor skin feel.

Excessive skin surface reflectance

(8)evidences

Excessive sebum production and light reflection on the skin create an aesthetically displeasing oily appearance. Eliminating this shine provides a long-lasting matte finish and improved visual uniformity.
