Multicomponent formulation architecture: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent tactile performance and phase separation lead to consumer rejection and wasted inventory. Precise control over the chemical interaction between surfactants and emollients ensures formula stability and predictable sensory profiles.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Multicomponent formulation architecture?

Visible cutaneous aging symptoms

(14)evidences

Active ingredients in complex mixtures often suffer from chemical degradation or phase separation. Improving stability ensures consistent efficacy and shelf-life for consumer applications.

Dermal nutrient delivery inefficiency

(8)evidences

Irregular melanin distribution and localized hyperpigmentation create aesthetic dissatisfaction. Resolving these pigmentary irregularities improves visual skin clarity and brightness.

Active ingredient instability and degradation

(3)evidences

Botanical cell extracts are prone to rapid oxidation and degradation in complex formulations. Preventing the loss of bioactive potency ensures consistent efficacy in personal care products.
