Anti-wrinkle Effect Using PLGA Nanoparticles

Abstract

In recent years, the needs of cosmetic products possessing anti-wrinkle effects are rapidly increasing, and the cosmetic products appealing its efficacy sell well. Since the target site of the active ingredient for anti-wrinkle is in the deep part of the skin, the problem is how to break through the stratum corneum, which is biological barrier, and deliver the ingredient to the target site. The PLGA (Poly-Lactide-co-Glycolide Acid) nanoparticle that we developed has DDS (Drug Delivery System) function such as excellent permeability to the stratum corneum and slow release of encapsulated content in the particle. By using this technology, the anti-wrinkle ingredients can be easily delivered deep into the skin.

In this paper, we introduce the test result of the anti-wrinkle effect by using PLGA nanoparticles.
