Hydroxylated triglyceride oligomer crosslinking: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The technical lever is the replacement of traditional silicones with hydroxylated triglyceride oligomers to modulate rheology and deposition. This enables high-performance silicone-free conditioning while maintaining low-viscosity stability.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Hydroxylated triglyceride oligomer crosslinking?

Inadequate hair fiber conditioning

(30)evidences

Sulfate-free and silicone-free formulations often fail to provide sufficient slip and conditioning to the hair shaft. Resolving this friction-related limitation ensures manageable hair without the buildup or irritation associated with traditional surfactants and silicones.

Unwanted hair texture and frizz

(11)evidences

The cluster addresses the physical misalignment of hair fibers causing frizz and the chemical malodor associated with traditional thiol-based treatments. Solving these issues improves cosmetic manageability and consumer sensory acceptance.
