Development of Biodegradable, Cellulose-Based, Essential Oil and Chitosan Drug Delivery Systems for Cosmetic Mask Applications

The goal of this research was the development cellulose-based biodegradable drug delivery systems solutions for cosmetic mask applications. Cellulose-based materials derived from natural renewable sources provide a sustainable alternative to nonwoven masks nondegradable fossil-based raw materials. An experimental design executed assemble 3D cellulose fibres matrix and water in oil emulsion comprising active molecules Mentha piperita L. Two types biopolymeric additives were used, one nano/micro fibrillated pulp another including chitosan. A computational simulation study performed enhance porosity strength properties. results indicated that face optimized prototypes, made molecules, are suitable dermic use.
