Abstract
Essential oils are lipid soluble well-known ingredient often applied to the skin for their important properties that ranges from antimicrobial, to antinflammatory and skin whitening. Current applications of these volatile compounds turn out to be complicated because of chemical and physical properties. Therefore, microencapsulation could be a solution to problems of stability, evaporation and controlled release. For these reasons, direct contact with skin of high concentrations, should be avoided in favour of a slow release of lower concentrations. We investigated their inclusion in cyclodextrine complexes, in order to achieve better stability in emulsions and better compatibility with skin application. The aim of this study is to see the optimal ratio of mixture between Satureja Montana essential oils and β-cyclodextrin and to study if antibacterial and animycotic properties are still alive after their complexionI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
