Reductive hair pigment solubilizers: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Chemical degradation of natural hair pigments often causes structural fiber damage and unpredictable tonal shifts. These formulations control the oxidative kinetics to achieve precise color alteration while maintaining keratin integrity.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Reductive hair pigment solubilizers?

Hair color instability

(18)evidences

Chemical color modification causes structural damage and uneven pigment distribution. Restoring fiber strength while maintaining color uniformity prevents breakage and aesthetic failure.

Inadequate pigment removal efficiency

(16)evidences

The inherent chemical stability of melanin granules prevents effective color modification. Overcoming this resistance allows for uniform and predictable aesthetic transformations.

Artificial pigment retention

(12)evidences

Chemical bonding of synthetic dyes to keratin fibers makes removal difficult without damaging the hair structure. Overcoming this persistence allows for color correction or change without compromising fiber integrity.
