Hydratable phyllosilicate network stabilization: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Product instability and clumping in dry formulations lead to poor skin adhesion and consumer rejection. Engineering the specific particulate matrix and binder ratios ensures consistent flow and uniform application.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Hydratable phyllosilicate network stabilization?

Oxidative and phase instability

(9)evidences

Oil-continuous cosmetic systems frequently suffer from kinetic instability and ingredient sedimentation. Preventing phase separation ensures product shelf-life and consistent delivery of active ingredients.

Topical formulation structural instability

(1)evidences

Hydratable phyllosilicate networks are prone to phase separation and uneven drying. Stabilizing these networks prevents product degradation and ensures consistent therapeutic delivery.
