This paper aims to encapsulate into solid lipid nanoparticles a mixture of two bioactive compounds, a photoprotective agent and an antioxidant compound. The co-encapsulation effect of octocrylene sunscreen and flavonoid (luteolinon) has been studied on the specific properties like antioxidant activity, sun protection factor and photostability. Using the high preasure homogenization technique li...
