Anhydrous keratin emulsification system: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Instability in traditional water-based cosmetics leads to microbial growth and active ingredient degradation. These formulations utilize anhydrous delivery vehicles that emulsify upon contact with keratin surfaces to ensure stability and targeted release.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Anhydrous keratin emulsification system?

Inefficient epidermal barrier penetration

(13)evidences

Variations in skin resistance and manual application force lead to unpredictable penetration and dosage. Controlling these factors ensures precise delivery of active compounds into specific dermal layers.

Inefficient transdermal active delivery

(12)evidences

Conventional cosmetic formulations often suffer from phase separation or chemical degradation of active ingredients before application. Preventing premature emulsion formation ensures ingredient integrity and long-term shelf stability.

Inadequate macromolecule skin penetration

(7)evidences

Large molecular weight peptides and non-polymeric compounds cannot naturally penetrate the stratum corneum barrier. Overcoming this physical resistance allows for deep tissue delivery of active cosmetic ingredients.
