Abstract

Ultradeformable liposomes containing penetration enhancers were created to deliver NaFl. Vesicles were investigated for their particle size, zeta potential, NaFl entrapment efficiency (%EE), loading efficiency, and in vitro skin penetration. The vesicles obtained were spherical in shape, with a particle size of less than 100 nm and a negative surface charge (–6 to –11 mV). The %EE of NaFl loaded in vesicles ranged from 37 to 48%. Ultradeformable liposomes with monoterpenes (d-limonene, 1,8-cineole and geraniol) significantly improved NaFl penetration through the skin. Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis confirmed skin-penetration results and was used to evaluate the behavior of hydrophilic compounds penetrating through the skin.
