Polymeric Nanocapsules and Lipid-Core Nanocapsules Have Diverse Skin Penetration.

Biodegradable nanoparticles have been widely studied as drug carriers in order to increase drug solubility in aqueous media, modify biodistribution, target tissues and organs or control the drug release. Those nanoparticles are, in general, produced as liquid formulations to act as final dosage forms or as intermediate for solid or semi-solid products. Considering the dermatological applications, as medicines or cosmetics, different nanoparticles have been proposed to control the skin penetration of encapsulated lipophilic substances.
