- Abstract
Natural oils have become increasingly prevalent in hair care products over the past decade and continue to gain traction in the market. While analytical methods exist in the field to understand the deposition and mechanism of action for silicone emulsions, which are chemically distinct from hair fibers, the visualization of natural oils on the hair surface has been an analytical challenge. In this work we showcase a new class of oil-soluble acrylic copolymers that structure coconut oil and enhance the deposition of the active onto the hair fibers. Additionally, we highlight the use of secondary ion mass spectrometry and depth profiling of the hair fibers to visualize the deposition of structure oils onto the hair surface. Lastly, we explore the utility of these structured oils in hair conditioning applications.
