Branched alkane polyalkylsiloxane network: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent coating of keratin fibers leads to poor sensory performance and fiber damage. This lever engineers the specific interaction between branched alkanes and silicone polymers to ensure uniform film deposition.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Branched alkane polyalkylsiloxane network?

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(43)evidences

High concentrations of diverse greasy substances and conflicting surfactant charges lead to phase separation and poor tactile consistency. Resolving these instabilities ensures uniform delivery of active ingredients and improved sensory performance.
