Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on delivering chlorogenic acid, a hydrophilic polyphenol, through the skin using excised guinea pig and Yucatan micropig skin models.
  • Chlorogenic acid showed better skin accumulation and solubility in aqueous solutions compared to other polyphenols like quercetin and genistein, but needed enhanced delivery for effective protection against oxidative skin damage.
  • Using an oil-in-water (o/w-type) microemulsion as a vehicle significantly improved the skin absorption of chlorogenic acid, and pretreatment with this microemulsion gel reduced UV-induced skin damage.
