Lauroyl lysine treated mica surfaces: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

Engineering the surface chemistry of mica platelets using amino acid derivatives to control pigment hydrophobicity and skin adhesion. This creates superior tactile properties and long-wear stability in multiphase cosmetic emulsions.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Lauroyl lysine treated mica surfaces?

Poor pigment skin adhesion

(3)evidences

Untreated mica particles exhibit low affinity for skin and oil phases, leading to uneven application and poor wear. Enhancing surface compatibility improves the stability and tactile performance of cosmetic formulations.
