Abstract

The nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) encapsulating two potent skin whitening ingredients was developed by our group for cosmetic and dermatological treatment. The particle showed spherical shape morphology under atomic force microscope, and the value of the zeta potential of the NLC was − 65.4 ± 4.3 mV. Good physical stability was observed by dynamic light scattering during 45 days’ storage, respectively. The skin whitening effect was improved when applying the NLC. Therefore, the NLC might be a potential delivery vehicle in dermal products.
