Development and evaluation of a cream containing solid lipid nanoparticles loaded with Vitamin E.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have several potential applications in the topical drug delivery. The current project aimed to prepare and characterize SLNs loaded with vitamin E for topical administration and incorporating the prepared SLNs in a cream base. Further, the permeation of prepared SLNs was studied through a synthetic membrane and the release profiles were compared with vitamin E cream.
