A stable moisturizing cosmetic emulsion was developed from babassu nut oil and high concentrations of sunscreens. Babassu chosen because within the laboratory time-scale, this vegetable showed physicochemical properties (relative density, acidity index, refracted index) a good ratio between lauric myristic fatty acids. The presence these saturated acids can confer specific activities to emulsion, such as antiviral, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory activity. prepared even after centrifugation...
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) represent promising nanostructures for drug delivery systems. This study successfully synthesized SLNs containing different proportions of babassu oil (BBS) and copaiba oleoresin (COPA) via the emulsification–ultrasonication method. Before SLN synthesis, identification quantification methyl esters, such as lauric acid β-caryophyllene, were performed GC-MS analysis. These esters used chemical markers assisted in encapsulation efficiency experiments. A 22...
