Inverse emulsion polymer network: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Phase instability and poor tactile delivery in keratin treatments lead to inconsistent product performance. These innovations utilize structured inverse emulsions to stabilize high-loading filler concentrations for uniform topical application.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Inverse emulsion polymer network?

Interfacial phase separation instability

(26)evidences

Incompatibility between polyphenols and volatile hydrocarbon carriers leads to premature phase separation. Stabilizing these components ensures uniform delivery and prevents formulation breakdown.

Optical skin imperfections

(9)evidences

Solid fillers and aggregates in cosmetic formulations tend to settle or clump, leading to uneven application and poor sensory texture. Maintaining a stable, uniform suspension of particulate matter is necessary for product efficacy and consumer acceptance.
