Internal hair protein crosslinking agents: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Chemical instability in topical applications leads to poor deposition and inconsistent texture. Precise control of the surfactant-polymer ratio ensures uniform coating and long-term product shelf life.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Internal hair protein crosslinking agents?

Insufficient hair fiber volume

(2)evidences

Uncontrolled hair bulkiness and fiber expansion. Reducing this physical limitation improves manageability and aesthetic control.

Internal structural protein degradation

(1)evidences

Loss of internal protein integrity leads to brittle and damaged hair fibers. Restoring structural cohesion prevents breakage and improves mechanical resilience.

Internal hair protein degradation

(1)evidences

Structural weakening and protein loss within the hair shaft lead to breakage and poor texture. Restoring internal integrity prevents irreversible mechanical failure of the fiber.
