本研究利用高壓均質技術製備包覆維生素C之微脂粒,並探討微脂粒包覆維生素C對於經皮傳輸與包覆率。且自製微脂粒包覆維生素C之精華液配方,評估化妝品功效性之影響,研究分別以invitro及in vivo進行。研究結果顯示包覆率68.2%並使用Franz-type擴散槽的in vitro經皮傳輸結果顯示,包覆維生素C之微脂粒(AL)之穿透率(Steady-state Flux)為52.90μg/cm2.hr,較單單使用未包覆維生素C之對照組25.91μg /cm2.hr快,1小時後的穿透比率分別為施藥原始量之0.37%與0.18%。可知有包覆維生素C之微脂粒確實能促進經皮吸收穿透率。使用黑紅色素測定儀,in vivo探討AL微脂粒對美白功效影響的實驗結果顯示,在10位受試者使用1小時的短效測試中,配方A(實驗組)使黑色素量減少14.41 %,至試驗第七天,肌膚黑色素量則下降至19.00 %,而B(空白組)之皮膚黑色素於使用前後無差異,短期測試顯示添加AL微脂粒具美白功效潛力。
In the study, novel liposomal ascorbic acid (AL liposome) and its preparation were successfully designed and prepared by high-pressure homogenization method. The ascorbic acid entrapment efficiency (EE %) and transdermal characteristics of liposomal ascorbic acid were investigated, and in vivo whitening efficacy of its preparation was also evaluated. The transdermal delivery profiles were determined in vitro using a Franz-type diffusion cell and porcine skin membrane. The results showed higher transdermal flux (52.90μg/cm2. hr)for AL liposome compared with un-capsulated ascorbic acid(25.91μg / cm2. hr), shorter lag time was also observed. In a short-term human skin cosmetic efficacy test of liposomal ascorbic acid preparation. After 7 days treatment, the melanin content reduced by 19.0 %, and control group (un-capsulated ascorbic acid preparation) showed no effect after treatment. Based on the assessment results summarized above, liposomal ascorbic acid showed high skin penetration ability and short-term whitening efficacy in this study, which could be useful for novel whitening ingredients in cosmetic preparations.
