Abstract :

Lipid nanoparticles with a solid matrix can be composed either from a solid lipid (SLN), or from a blend of a solid lipid with a liquid lipid (oil) (NLC). Both NLC and SLN have many features that are advantageous for dermal application. They are colloidal carriers providing controlled release profiles for many substances. They are composed of physiological and biodegradable lipids exhibiting low toxicity and low cytotoxicity, rendering them an excellent tolerability. The small size ensures a close contact to the stratum corneum and can increase the amount of drug penetrated into the skin. Due to the occlusive properties of lipid nanoparticles, an increased skin hydration effect is also possible. Furthermore, lipid nanoparticles are able to enhance the chemical stability of compounds sensitive to light, oxidation and hydrolysis. Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) encapsulating a ternary mixture of sunscreens viz. Parsol MCX, Uvinul T 150, Tinosorb S were formulated with the aim of enhancing the UV blocking efficacy of the mixture. This NLC dispersion was evaluated for particle size analysis by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), and sunscreen efficacy testing employing beta carotene solution in comparison to nanoemulsion. Results indicate enhanced UV blocking efficacy compared to the conventional nanoemulsion formulation.
