Pigment surface stabilization matrix: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Skin oil saturation causes cosmetic formulation breakdown and poor sensory feel, which is mitigated through engineered particle porosity and surface chemistry. Controlling the oil-absorption capacity ensures long-wear stability and consistent matte texture.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Pigment surface stabilization matrix?

Pigment agglomeration and instability

(10)evidences

Agglomeration and uneven distribution of mineral pigments in oil-rich phases lead to poor sensory performance and visual inconsistency. Resolving this ensures uniform application and prevents phase separation in complex cosmetic matrices.

Pigment agglomeration and uneven dispersion

(9)evidences

Excessive sebum production leads to cosmetic instability and poor sensory application. Mitigating these issues prevents formulation breakdown and maintains long-term wearability.

Pigment phase separation instability

(9)evidences

Inconsistent dispersion and settling of solid particles in anhydrous bases lead to poor color payoff and formula instability. Preventing these failure modes ensures uniform application and long-term product homogeneity.

Excessive cutaneous sebum shine

(8)evidences

Excessive sebum production and light reflection create an oily appearance on the skin surface. Eliminating this aesthetic failure mode provides the long-lasting matte finish required for high-performance cosmetic foundations.
