Newsletters
P&G Beauty distributes the quarterly Breakthroughs Newsletter to summarize recent P&G Beauty technology news of interest to stakeholders.
Newsletter XVI
The process of hair coloring significantly changes the surface of hair fiber. Color-treated hair is rougher and more hydrophilic, attracting water that can leach out pigments. New shampoos and conditioners are designed to preserve hair color function by working with this surface activity of colored hair. Electrophotography now allows P&G Beauty researchers to visually capture changes in hair surface properties resulting from their newest color preservation technology - Liquid Crystals.

Beauty Research Updates are written and produced twice a year. These updates are more in-depth than the newsletters and contain more insightful research and findings within skin and hair care science. Skin and hair research remain the major categories of research and development at P&G Beauty focusing on the following areas: skin tone, wrinkles, hair color and dandruff.
Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Texture
Anti-aging is an area of concern for many consumers and P&G Beauty researchers. Not only is the market in demand for safe and effective products, but there is a growing demand for statistically sound high science to justify new research in this demanding area of skin care development. P&G Beauty researchers take these demands and needs into consideration when studying different formulations and compounds.

The World of Skin Care
Our skin is the outward appearance of who or what we are, or would like to be. But it is more than just a simple cover. It is the largest organ of the body - a complex and dynamic system that is vitally important to our health, and sometimes reflects it as well.
The World of Hair
People all over the world see hair as important. In the west, for instance, almost all brides are prepared for their approach to the altar by the hands of an expert stylist. On that supreme day, their hair style may be the most elaborate they will ever have in their lives. At the opposite extreme, when a young girl of one of the aboriginal tribes of the Amazon jungle reaches puberty the women of the village ceremonially remove all the hairs from her head, one by one. The ritual significance and mystique of hair on these occasions are undeniable.
