Nanostructured layered double hydroxides (LDH), owing to its exceptional features; such as large surface area, expandable interlayer space to accommodate active molecules, biocompatibility, high water holding efficiency, rheological and swelling properties, as well as cost effectiveness, have been proposed as innovative carriers of active ingredients for its effective transfer through skin.

Special consideration is dedicated to the functionalities of LDH and its prospects in controlled release for cosmetic ingredients. The examples and discussions illustrating the application of LDH in topical delivery are centered around UV protection, skin care and antimicrobial properties.AbstractenActive ingredientsCosmeticsDelivery systemsLayered double hydroxidesArticleKesavan Pillai, S., Kleyi, P.
