The presence of large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress that can damage cell membranes, lead to DNA breakage and cause inactivation of free radical scavenger enzymes, eventually resulting in skin damage. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid that has been shown to have the highest anti-radical activity, along with the ability to act as a scavenger of free radicals and an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. In this research work, a solvent-free solid lipid based nanosystem has been developed and evaluated for topical delivery of quercetin.
