Multidrug Liposomes of Glycolic Acid and Nutraceuticals for Cosmetic Application

Many significant studies have been conducted and applied to use the potential lipid-based drug delivery system, as it provides a suitable means for controlled release. Lipid-based carriers are efficient and safe hence they can be an attractive candidate for formulation of pharmaceuticals and nutraceutcials [1]. Liposomes are microscopic bilayered and spherical-shaped vesicles containing an internal aqueous compartment [2]. Presently cosmetic products mostly contain liposomes as it can encapsulate active ingredients to store and prolong release which is necessary for the skin. The cosmetics of liposomes are applied to the skin; it is deposited on the skin and activated to fuse with the cellular membranes. Such formulations with unsaturated phosphatidylcholine are selected for skin regeneration, antiaging, anti-acne, and skin penetrant like vitamins and their derivatives into the skin [3].
