TLDR PLGA nanospheres in cosmetics improve skin and hair treatment effectiveness.
The document discussed the application of PLGA nanospheres (NSs) in cosmetics, highlighting their effectiveness in delivering active ingredients deep into the skin and hair follicles. VC-IP-loaded PLGA NS emulsions were shown to inhibit DNA damage in skin biopsies due to their antioxidant properties. Products like "NanoCrysphere®" were developed for whitening and anti-aging, while foundations containing ceramide-encapsulated PLGA NSs improved skin moisture and reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, a compacted powder product efficiently delivered anti-acne agents, and hinokitiol, a hair-growth ingredient, was more effectively delivered to hair follicles using PLGA NS suspensions compared to conventional methods.
