Multilayered pigment optical interference: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Standard pigment loads create an unnatural mask-like finish that reduces consumer perceived value. Precise engineering of the refractive balance between anisochromatic and white particulates restores natural light scattering to the skin surface.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Multilayered pigment optical interference?

Uncontrolled pigment agglomeration

(11)evidences

Inadequate oil management and tactile properties in talc-free formulations. Improving these factors prevents product degradation and skin discomfort.

Cosmetic formulation structural instability

(10)evidences

Standard cosmetic emulsions often exhibit undesirable greasiness or lack of freshness upon application. Reducing perceived oiliness and weight improves consumer sensory experience and product uptake.

Excessive skin surface reflectance

(7)evidences

Excessive sebum production and light reflection create an oily appearance on the skin surface. Eliminating this visual artifact improves the aesthetic longevity and perceived quality of topical applications.

Incompatibility of anhydrous phases

(7)evidences

Standard cosmetic formulations often fail to provide sufficient coverage of skin discolorations without using heavy, cakey filler loads. Solving this allows for natural-looking correction and improved aesthetic wearability.
