Crosslinked silicone elastomer network: UnileverRecent Research Landscape
Inconsistent sensory profiles and phase separation in topical formulations lead to poor consumer adoption. Precise control of the elastomer crosslinking density stabilizes the internal phase structure to ensure uniform delivery.
What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Crosslinked silicone elastomer network?
Ultraviolet radiation induced skin damage
(12)evidences
Dermal degradation and cellular damage caused by solar radiation exposure. Preventing these physiological failures maintains skin integrity and prevents long-term health complications.
Topical formulation instability
(4)evidences
Incompatibility between porous particles and polymeric networks leads to phase separation or poor tactile performance. Stabilizing these components ensures consistent delivery of active ingredients on skin.
Cosmetic formulation instability
(3)evidences
Standard facial compositions suffer from phase separation and poor durability on skin. Resolving these degradation issues ensures uniform application and extended wear time.
Inadequate optical surface coverage
(2)evidences
Visible skin imperfections and uneven light reflection create an undesirable aesthetic. Achieving a soft-focus effect masks these irregularities to improve perceived skin texture.
