A Full Factorial Design to Optimize Aminexil Nano Lipid Formulation to Improve Skin Permeation and Efficacy Against Alopecia.

Aminexil (AMX) is considered to be one of the most widely used hair growth promoters. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are employed to increase the permeation of both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs. Aminexil nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) designed by pre-emulsion/ultrasonication method was utilized for alopecia treatment.

Optimization of nutraceutical coenzyme Q10 nanoemulsion with improved skin permeability and anti-wrinkle efficiency.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an insoluble, poorly permeable antioxidant with great biological value which acts as anti-aging and anti-wrinkle agent. To improve its permeability through topical application, the current study aimed at formulating oil/water (o/w) nanoemulsion (NE) as an efficient vehicle for delivering (CoQ10) through the skin barriers. The solubility of (CoQ10) was tested for various oils, surfactants (S), and co-surfactants (CoS).
