Climbazole microcapsule surfactant stabilization: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Active ingredient instability in hair care formulations leads to premature degradation and loss of efficacy. Engineering the outer shell structure around a liquid core ensures controlled release and protects the payload from the surrounding chemical environment.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Climbazole microcapsule surfactant stabilization?

Active ingredient leakage instability

(1)evidences

Premature release or degradation of liquid core components in surfactant-rich environments. Preventing unintended diffusion ensures long-term efficacy and targeted delivery in hair care applications.

Premature active ingredient release

(1)evidences

Uncontrolled leakage of encapsulated actives in surfactant-rich environments leads to reduced efficacy. Preventing early discharge ensures targeted delivery to the hair and scalp during application.
