Hypothesis
Can a novel diacylglycerol nanostructured lipid carrier hydrogel improve the stability and skin application of green tea polyphenols?
Conclusion
The GTP-DAG-NLC-GEL shows significant potential for skin protection in cosmetics due to its high encapsulation rate and stability.
Supporting Evidence
- The encapsulation rate and drug loading of GTP in GTP-DAG-NLC-GEL reached 86.7% and 2.6%, respectively.
- The DPPH free radicals scavenging rate and inhibition rate of advanced glycation end-products were 85.46% and 89.72%, respectively.
- The viscosity of GTP-DAG-NLC-GEL was 980 Pa·s at a shear rate of 5 rpm.
Takeaway
This study created a special gel that helps protect skin using green tea ingredients, making it better for cosmetics.
Methodology
The study involved preparing a diacylglycerol nanostructured lipid carrier hydrogel loaded with green tea polyphenols and evaluating its physical properties and skin protective effects.
