Multiphase cationic fatty alcohol network: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent emulsion stability in lipid-rich formulations leads to phase separation and poor sensory performance. These innovations stabilize the microstructure through precise ratios of charged polymers and fatty alcohols.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Multiphase cationic fatty alcohol network?

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(34)evidences

High concentrations of fatty alcohols and mixed surfactants often lead to phase separation or crystal growth over time. Resolving this instability ensures product shelf-life and consistent sensory delivery.

Incompatible surfactant phase instability

(16)evidences

Complex surfactant systems often suffer from phase separation or insufficient viscosity under varying thermal and mechanical conditions. Maintaining structural integrity in multi-component cosmetic bases ensures consistent delivery of active agents.

Incompatible ingredient phase separation

(2)evidences

High surface friction and structural roughness of keratin fibers lead to tangling and poor tactile properties. Reducing these mechanical impediments improves hair manageability and sensory quality.
