Abstract EN
The objective of this study was to formulate optimal formulations of microemulsions (MEs) and evaluate their feasibility for delivery of resveratrol into human skin ex vivo.
Oil-in-water MEs were formulated using surfactant (S) PEG-8 caprylic/capric glycerides and cosurfactant (CoS) polyglyceryl-6-isostearate.
Ethyl oleate was used as an oily phase.
MEs were formulated using 5 : 1, 6 : 1, and 7 : 1 surfactant and cosurfactant (S : CoS) weight ratios.
Pseudoternary phase diagrams were constructed and optimal compositions of MEs were obtained using Design Expert software.
Mean droplet size for optimized ME formulations was determined to be 68.54 ± 1.18 nm, 66.08 ± 0.16 nm, and 66.66 ± 0.56 nm for systems with S : CoS weight ratios 5 : 1, 6 : 1, and 7 : 1, respectively.
Resveratrol loading resulted in mean droplet size increase.
The distribution of droplet size between fractions changed during storage of formulated MEs.
Results demonstrated the increase of number of droplets and relative surface area when S : CoS weight ratios were 6 : 1 and 7 : 1 and the decrease when S : CoS weight ratio was 5 : 1.
The highest penetration of resveratrol into the skin ex vivo was determined from ME with S : CoS weight ratio 5 : 1.
It was demonstrated that all MEs were similar in their ability to deliver resveratrol into the skin ex vivo.
