Description - Skin Delivery Systems by John J. Wille
Current interest in drug delivery technologies is exceedingly high.
Similarly, a recent upsurge in consumer awareness of the potential
antiaging and antiwrinkling benefits of natural products and
botanicals has spurred a revolution in the cosmetic industry for
better skin care delivery technologies, both to preserve inherent
activity as well as to enhance their benefits through novel
formulation and delivery methods.
With these considerations in mind, Skin Delivery Systems:
Transdermals, Dermatologicals and Cosmetic Actives brings together
the emerging fields of cosmetic actives with new advances in skin
delivery technologies and provides a methodical and systematic
explanation of technologies used to transport pharmaceuticals and
cosmetic actives through the skin's barriers. After reviewing the
basic principles of dermatology and skin penetration, the reference
describes and explains the most current methods of transdermal
transport. Coverage includes new materials, such as amphiphilic
polymers; new formulation methods, such as miniemulsions; and
variations on technologies such as sonophoresis and iontophoresis.
The authors also show the connections between skin penetration and
a variety of active substances, including specialized
pharmaceuticals and natural and botanical ingredients used in
cosmetics. The book presents critical empirical data and design
information intended to assist researchers, product developers, and
testers in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
