Antifungal scalp conditioning formulation: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Follicular inflammation and epidermal barrier disruption lead to chronic hair loss and irritation. These formulations engineer the scalp environment through specific chemical agents to restore microbial balance and tissue health.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Antifungal scalp conditioning formulation?

Scalp fungal colonization

(16)evidences

Inadequate eradication of Malassezia species leads to chronic dandruff recurrence. Reducing fungal load prevents inflammatory scalp conditions and associated hair shedding.

Microbial scalp colonization

(9)evidences

Standard surfactant-based antifungal treatments often cause epidermal irritation and leave visible aesthetic residues on the hair fiber. Eliminating these side effects improves patient compliance and scalp barrier integrity.
