Abstract

Background: Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds having more than one hydroxy functional group. They are ubiquitous secondary plant metabolites possessing a wide range of pharmacological activity. Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are the natural source of polyphenols. Majorly, they possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which make them suitable candidates to target skin related disorders.

Objective: This study is focused to explore the potential of polyphenols loaded nanovesicles for skin related disorders. The aim of the study is to review the applicability and efficacy of different vesicular systems encapsulated with various classes of polyphenols for skin related disorders, thus opening the opportunity for future studies based on these drug delivery systems.

Method: Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus database, and the search engine Google Scholar were accessed for the literature search. The results were then filtered based on the titles, abstracts, and accessibility of the complete texts.

Results: The expository evaluation of the literature revealed that various nanovesicles like liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes and transferosomes incorporating polyphenol have been formulated to address issues pertaining to delivery across the skin. These developed nano vesicular systems have shown improvement in the physicochemical properties and pharmacological action.

Conclusion: Polyphenol based nano-vesicular formulations have proved to be an effective system for topical delivery and henceforth, they might curtail the use of other skin therapies having limited applicability.
