Effect of Lipid Composition on In Vitro Release and Skin Deposition of Curcumin Encapsulated Liposomes

Table 8

Percentage skin deposition and amount of deposition of curcumin from different types of liposomes at 25°C. Values are indicated as mean ± SD ().

Liposomal formulation	Percentage of skin deposition (%)	Amount deposited (μg/cm^2)
NL	7.3 ± 0.6	25.7 ± 2.2
NHL	2.9 ± 0.5	8.6 ± 1.4
PL	1.9 ± 0.3	4.4 ± 0.6
PHL	1.1 ± 0.2	2.5 ± 0.5

NL: negatively charged liposomes; NHL: negatively charged hybrid liposomes.
PL: positively charged liposomes; PHL: positively charged hybrid liposomes.
