Optical refractive index modifiers: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Light scattering from damaged cuticles reduces perceived luster and market value. These formulations engineer the fiber surface reflectivity to restore optical brilliance.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Optical refractive index modifiers?

Thiol compound chemical instability

(41)evidences

Chemical and environmental damage leads to structural instability and loss of protective lipids in hair. Addressing this degradation restores the physical integrity and optical properties of the fiber.

Calcium induced hair fiber degradation

(17)evidences

Excessive calcium accumulation in hair fibers causes brittleness and poor cosmetic texture. Removing these mineral deposits restores fiber integrity and prevents chemical treatment interference.
