Abstract
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), also known as lipid carriers, have been under intensive research over the past decade. SLNs are extensively studied worldwide and have emerged as versatile nano-sized drug carriers. SLNs can encapsulate drugs, vitamins, molecules, and almost all xenobiotics. SLNs are also the potential carriers for gene delivery and anticancer drugs. SLNs have proved to be the most successful carrier for skin delivery. Furthermore, SLNs have various advantages over other nano-sized carriers. This chapter focuses on the recently exposed potential of SLNs in cosmetics, methods of preparation, characterization, in vitro studies, stability, toxicity, and applications for the skin and in other drug delivery targets.
