Cyclic functionalized film forming polymers: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Poor adhesion and film brittleness in eyelash coatings cause premature detachment and user discomfort. This formulation engineers a specific viscoelastic matrix using neutralized surfactants and dimer-derived polyesters to ensure high-bond durability.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Cyclic functionalized film forming polymers?

Inadequate keratin fiber adhesion

(12)evidences

Natural hair and skin surfaces fail to maintain structural deformation or pigment adhesion against mechanical stress and moisture. Solving this prevents the loss of aesthetic effects like eyelash curl or eyebrow definition over time.

Poor cosmetic substrate adhesion

(10)evidences

Insufficient bonding strength and poor mechanical stability of synthetic fibers to natural lashes. Improving attachment reliability prevents premature detachment and ensures wear durability.

Multiphase formulation instability

(5)evidences

The combination of diverse polymers, waxes, and surfactants indicates a struggle to maintain structural integrity in aqueous cosmetic films. Improving film resilience prevents premature cracking or wear in complex multi-component formulations.
