Stabilization of vitamin C in emulsions of liquid crystalline structures

Emulsified systems are widely used for topical delivery with the aim of optimizing cutaneous absorption and offering a pleasant sensory. They also may provide protection active molecule against oxidation and/or degradation. The oil phase o/w emulsions consist liquid crystalline structures, especially lamellar structures which similar to those found in stratum corneum lipids. In present work, containing crystals mixed cetyl alcohol Polysorbate 60 were developed vitamin C, potent antioxidant several applications cosmetic pharmaceutical fields. addition well-documented lipid supplementation corneum, crystal significant chemical stabilization C its Emulsions characterized by X-ray diffraction, polarized optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy. stability formulations was evaluated upon storage different conditions temperature. contain complex colloidal structure, consisting (L?) gel (L?) phases, that very efficient
