Adhesive, Non-absorbent Nanoparticles for Dermal Applications
Adhesive, Non-absorbent Nanoparticles for Dermal Applications
- Biodegradable nanoparticles that stick to skin, are removed by friction, but don’t wash off
- Demonstrated efficacy using sunblock in rodent models
- Prevents UV damage to skin
- Wipes off with towel, doesn’t wash off with water
- Many possible non-prescription and prescription applications
- Clinical trial of sunblock currently enrolling subjects
