Stability and efficiency of Kacip Fatimah-Chitosan nanoparticles as a delivery system in facial cleansing application

Kacip Fatimah is a potential anti-aging active ingredient in cosmetics. A delivery system is essential to deliver the active ingredient through the skin but the challenges were how to deliver the active ingredients in wash-off products. Negatively charged skin surface leads to development of cationi...
