Cationic polyelectrolyte deposition system: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Inefficient transfer of active ingredients leads to high raw material waste and poor product performance. These innovations engineer the electrostatic and rheological properties of the carrier to ensure targeted delivery to the hair surface.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Cationic polyelectrolyte deposition system?

Inadequate active ingredient deposition

(34)evidences

Mechanical degradation and cuticle roughness lead to poor tactile properties and tangling. Reducing surface friction prevents structural failure and improves fiber manageability.

Poor active ingredient retention

(9)evidences

Substances applied to hair surfaces often wash away or fail to adhere during the rinsing process. Improving retention ensures that functional benefits like smoothness or protection persist after treatment.
