Au Naturale Nanoparticle Sun Protection
By: Katie Schaefer, C&T magazine
In 1876, Charles Darwin observed the secretion of yellow matter from the rootlets of ivy. Little was known about the material until 2008, when Mingjun Zhang, PhD, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Tennessee, and his research team found nanoparticles in the yellow matter.

Environmentally Responsive Nanoparticles for Delivery as Assessed via Light Scattering and Near-infrared Imaging
By: Andrew Harper; Steve Tonge, PhD; Lisa Makein, …
Lipid-based nanoparticles were developed to respond to environmental stimuli and used as site-directed delivery systems. Through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), the self-assembly of these 10–40 nm particles was observed. In addition, the penetration of the particles through the stratum corneum was monitored in vivo using a novel Near-infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) technique.

Silicon Microspheres as UV, Visible and Infrared Filters for Cosmetics
By: Isabelle Rodriguez, PhD, Roberto Fenollosa, Ph…
Silicon microspheres are described as UV, visible and infrared (IR) radiation filters. Parameters of these spheres including shape, smoothness, refractive index and size are examined for their potential benefits in cosmetic formulations. Finally, the ability of the spheres to block IR radiation is evaluated for thermo-regulatory effects.

Controlled-release Mechanisms of Fragrances
By: Nitika U. Bhargava, Vijayanand P. Magar and Sh…
Fragrances are volatile and susceptible to oxidation, and can escape from a finished product over time. This limited longevity has led to the development of encapsulation and controlled-release techniques. The present article reviews methods for controlling the release of fragrance in personal care products, and describes their mechanisms of action.

Dendrimersomes for Ingredient Delivery
By: Katie Schaefer, C&T magazine
According to Virgil Percec, PhD, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, dendrimers are the answer to the stable, effective delivery of drugs and cosmetic actives to the skin. Percec’s team has researched the fundamentals of dendrimers for years but more recently published work on using dendrimers to deliver drugs, cosmetic ingredients and other materials to the skin.
