Surfactant concentration gradient control: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The engineering of surfactant-polymer interactions to control phase stability and deposition. This enables superior sensory performance and active delivery in rinse-off formats.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Surfactant concentration gradient control?

Surfactant induced skin irritation

(35)evidences

Standard sulfate-based surfactants cause significant skin barrier disruption and irritation. Eliminating these specific chemical classes while maintaining cleansing efficacy addresses the trade-off between cleaning power and dermatological safety.

High concentration formulation instability

(9)evidences

Concentrated personal care products often suffer from phase separation or poor rheological recovery when diluted for use. Solving this ensures product efficacy and consistent sensory performance in compact formats.
