Adipic acid neopentyl glycol crosspolymer: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Standard cosmetic formulations degrade rapidly under mechanical stress or sebum exposure, leading to poor wear duration. These innovations engineer specific polymer matrices to ensure adhesion and pigment stability on the skin surface.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Adipic acid neopentyl glycol crosspolymer?

Environmental pollutant skin damage

(6)evidences

Topical compositions often suffer from phase separation or poor ingredient compatibility. Resolving these stability failures ensures consistent delivery of active compounds.

Inadequate cosmetic formulation stability

(4)evidences

Aqueous environments cause chemical degradation or phase separation in sensitive cosmetic active ingredients. Eliminating water prevents hydrolytic breakdown and maintains long-term product integrity.

Unsatisfactory skin surface appearance

(2)evidences

Standard facial formulations suffer from poor adhesion and rapid degradation when exposed to sebum or physical contact. Preventing premature film breakdown ensures long-lasting coverage and consistent active ingredient delivery.

Insufficient optical blurring and opacity

(2)evidences

Light scattering on uneven skin surfaces creates high contrast and emphasizes wrinkles or pores. Reducing specular reflection through soft-focus effects masks these physical irregularities.
