Low-reductant denaturing agent formulation: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent film adhesion on keratin surfaces leads to poor wear resistance and uneven pigment distribution. This sequential chemical application stabilizes the interface between the fiber and the cosmetic matrix to ensure durability.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Low-reductant denaturing agent formulation?

Keratin fiber heat damage

(39)evidences

Chemical treatments often cause irreversible damage to the disulfide bonds and cuticle integrity of hair. Preventing this breakdown maintains fiber strength and surface smoothness during processing.

Keratin fiber structural rigidity

(7)evidences

Natural keratin fibers possess inherent mechanical resistance to shape alteration. Overcoming this structural stubbornness allows for permanent aesthetic modification like straightening or curl relaxation.
