Tricyclodecane amide photoprotective networks: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

UV filter instability in aqueous systems leads to phase separation and reduced photoprotection. These formulations engineer specific gel structures to maintain high SPF efficacy and shelf stability.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Tricyclodecane amide photoprotective networks?

Ultraviolet radiation induced skin damage

(11)evidences

Low sun protection factor efficacy and inadequate photostability in topical formulations. Improving protection levels prevents cellular damage and photoaging.

Inadequate wash-off uv protection

(7)evidences

Low sun protection factor values in topical formulations lead to inadequate skin defense against radiation. Increasing SPF efficacy ensures reliable prevention of actinic damage.

Topical formulation structural instability

(2)evidences

Silicone elastomers in personal care often suffer from poor skin feel or instability when integrated into complex formulations. Improving the tactile consistency and structural integrity prevents greasy or gritty textures.
