Nanotechnological breakthroughs in the development of topical phytocompounds-based formulations
International Journal of Pharmaceutics(2019)
摘要
Cosmeceuticals are a type of cosmetic products distinguished by the presence of active ingredients that, in addition to their cosmetic effects, also hold therapeutic outcomes. This review is focused on phytocompounds (PHYTOCs)-based cosmeceuticals, an established segment of cosmetic industry, due to the great demand for vitamins and plant-derived products. PHYTOCs beauty and health-related applications are due to their anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, wound-healing, anti-aging, sun protection, cytoprotective, anticarcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities. However, PHYTOCs present disadvantages, precisely the poor solubility, instability, reduced skin permeation and low skin retention time, which strongly restrict their topical application. Therefore, and since the cosmetic industry constantly pursues groundbreaking technological products, nanotechnology emerges as an innovative strategy to tackle the PHYTOCs recognized limitations. Nanotechnology manipulates and reduces materials size to 1 and 100 nm, creating structures able to encapsulate active ingredients, such as PHYTOCs, with the purpose of overcoming their limitations and delivering them in a controlled manner to the skin.
