Surfactant keratin cleansing systems: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Residue buildup on keratinous fibers increases cleaning time and risks surface damage. Precise control of the interfacial tension between the cleansing phase and sebum allows for rapid emulsification without stripping natural lipids.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Surfactant keratin cleansing systems?

Keratinous surface soil persistence

(57)evidences

Accumulated sebum and cosmetic residues resist standard aqueous displacement. Effective removal prevents buildup and restores the natural substrate properties of keratinous fibers.

Inadequate active ingredient deposition

(36)evidences

Sulfate-free surfactant systems often suffer from poor retention of functional actives like salicylic acid on keratin surfaces during rinsing. Improving deposition efficiency ensures therapeutic efficacy without requiring higher ingredient concentrations.
