Polymeric fiber surface modifiers: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Hair thinning and loss create significant consumer dissatisfaction and market churn, which is mitigated through the engineering of specific chemical preparations that modulate follicular activity. These formulations stabilize active delivery to the scalp to improve hair density and retention.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Polymeric fiber surface modifiers?

Uncontrollable hair fiber volume

(2)evidences

Uncontrolled bulkiness and lack of fiber alignment. Reducing this physical expansion improves manageability and aesthetic control.

Internal hair protein degradation

(2)evidences

Mechanical and chemical damage to the hair shaft leads to loss of structural integrity and protein depletion. Restoring fiber strength and surface smoothness prevents breakage and improves tactile properties.
