Lipid ‐based submicron capsules as a strategy to include high concentrations of a hydrophobic lightening agent in a hydrogel

ConclusionLipid‐based capsules (LNC), an encapsulation system useful for the epidermal delivery of hydrophobic compounds, were adapted to the encapsulation of a commercial lightening agent. The encapsulation permits the dispersion in a stable manner of a very high concentration of a hydrophobic active molecule in a hydrogel while maintaining the physicochemical and sensory properties of the gel.This article is protected by copyright.
