Carnitine dicarboxylate phospholipid complexes: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Keratin fiber degradation during cosmetic processing leads to structural breakage and loss of elasticity. These formulations utilize specific acid-based chemical species to re-establish molecular bonds within the hair cortex.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Carnitine dicarboxylate phospholipid complexes?

Keratin fiber structural degradation

(23)evidences

Mechanical and chemical stressors cause irreversible breakage and weakening of hair structures. Preventing this failure mode maintains the physical integrity and longevity of keratinous tissues.

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(18)evidences

Repeated cosmetic treatments cause structural degradation and weakening of hair and skin fibers. Mitigating this breakdown preserves the physical integrity and aesthetic quality of keratinous surfaces.

Keratin fiber structural degradation

(11)evidences

Environmental and chemical stressors cause physical damage and loss of integrity in hair and skin proteins. Preventing or reversing this breakdown maintains fiber strength and surface smoothness.
