Hair keratin crosslinking agents: ShiseidoRecent Research Landscape

Liquid formulations suffer from rapid pigment leaching and high packaging costs. Engineering the physical state into a solid anhydrous structure stabilizes colorants and eliminates preservative requirements.

What technical problems is Shiseido addressing in Hair keratin crosslinking agents?

Structural hair fiber instability

(5)evidences

Mechanical weakness and cuticle damage lead to breakage and loss of integrity. Strengthening the keratin matrix restores durability and prevents fiber failure.

Hair color instability

(2)evidences

Artificial hair color suffers from rapid loss of intensity during subsequent washing and environmental exposure. Preventing this degradation maintains aesthetic longevity and reduces the frequency of chemical re-processing.
