Description
Summary:Synopsis A detailed review of the literature is presented in attempts to emphasize several advantages of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for cosmetic applications. Examples of several actives are given and the main features of the solid core of SLN and NLC for topical delivery of cosmetics are discussed. Lipid nanoparticles have been more and more explored in pharmaceutical technology, showing superior advantages for topical purposes over conventional colloidal carriers. Résumé Un examen détaillé de la littérature est présenté dans les tentatives de souligner les plusieurs avantages des nanoparticule lipidique solide (SLN) et lipidique nanostructurés (NLC) pour applications cosmétiques. Exemples de plusieurs substances actives sont données et les caractéristiques principales du noyau plein de SLN et de NLC pour la libération topique des produits de beauté sont discutées. Les nanoparticles lipides ont été de plus en plus explorées en technologie pharmaceutique, montrant des avantages supérieurs pour les porteurs colloïdaux conventionnels pour administration topique de buts.
