Hydroxy acid surfactant deposition system: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

Engineering the solubility and phase behavior of anti-dandruff actives within sulfate-free surfactant matrices. This enables targeted delivery of hydrophobic agents from aqueous cleansing systems to the scalp.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Hydroxy acid surfactant deposition system?

Inefficient active ingredient deposition

(22)evidences

The washout of surfactant-soluble agents during cleansing prevents therapeutic efficacy. Enhancing deposition ensures anti-dandruff and anti-inflammatory actives remain on the target substrate after rinsing.

Excessive sebum migration

(18)evidences

The transfer of oils from the scalp to the hair fiber leads to aesthetic degradation and loss of volume. Preventing this migration maintains hair cleanliness and manageability for longer durations.
