Liposomes in Nutricosmetics. (a) [L-R] FAL-H, FAL-R and FAL-MM (50 mg Folic acid/gm cosmetic). (b) TEM of MM shows nanorods. (c) FEG-SEM of FAL-MM shows distribution of spherical FAL amongst nanorods of MM. (d,f,h) Day 1-AFM of FAL-R, FAL-H and FAL-MM. (e,g,i) After 6 months-AFM images of FAL-R, FAL-H and FAL-MM. Liposomes carried in 3D matrix of cosmetics prevents its aggregation and enhances stability of liposomes at room temperature. (j) Spherical Surface morphology and size of Liposomes (L-R) cryo FEG SEM of SPC (100–150 nm), SPC-SA (>500 nm), SPC-OA (80–120 nm), cryo HR-TEM of FAL respectively. Unilamellar small liposomes of folic acid were obtained with SPC-OA. Scale bar = 100 nm.
