Cover Story: Red palm fruits (Elaeis guineensis) extract contains high levels of vitamin E, b-carotene, and palmitic acid has strong antioxidant activity and is suitable for skin care. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were employed to deliver active extract for day and night creams. Both products are physically and chemically acceptable. The nano-size particles permeated across the skin. The cream was non-irritating with a good cutaneous compatibility. The skin hydration, transepidermal water loss, skin elasticity and melanin index were improved after the first-time use compared to skin baseline and continued to improve after daily application of the day and night creams for 30 days compared to the baseline value, thus confirming the efficacy of creams containing red palm fruit extract loaded with SLNs. View this paper.
