Diffusion of jojoba oil microencapsulated and impregnated onto compressive garment through a pig skin

Abstract

Scientific developments are in progress in order to create compressive fabric in the medical field. This study focused on the development of a compressive garment in polyamide designated for severe burns in terms of pressure and hydration release. The fabric was then enhanced by adding a moisturizing treatment. The improvement consisted of the impregnation of ethylcellulose microcapsules containing jojoba oil on the textile surface of compressive garment. The kinetic of release of this active ingredient from the microcapsules, as well as its diffusion through the skin, were assessed using the in vitro Franz diffusion cell system. The results showed a controlled release of jojoba oil over time. The amount of oil released during the experiments (168 h) and that which penetrated through the pig skin did not exceed 1% of the total amount of jojoba oil microencapsulated and impregnated on the surface of a compression garment. This study permitted to obtain a compressive garment which presents hydration properties.

“…Since jojoba oils can act as carrier oils for essential oils and lipophilic chemicals (e.g. vitamin E) in cosmetics, the oil‐filled vesicles or particles might also serve as a delivery system for lipophilic cosmetic active ingredients . Pinto et al .…”

“…Micro/nanocapsules usually process a distinct core‐shell structure, whereas micro/nanospheres refer to uniformly mixed spherical particles of core material in a polymeric matrix . Both capsules and spheres have been widely employed to encapsulate various plant ingredients for improved stability, biocompatibility, skin delivery and cosmetic performance . Furthermore, for liquid oils, the encapsulation and solidification in solid particles not only improve storage stability but also facilitate transportation.…”

Preparation of sock impregnated with microcapsules based on olive oil for the antibacterial and antifungal therapy of athlete's foot

“…A textile fabric must have qualities of comfort, in terms of moisture absorption, sensations neutral to the skin, possibly aesthetics. Good structure and mechanical performance of some fibers suggest for information on comfort [41]. The approach of this work consisted in developing, as a first step, microcapsules based on ethyl-cellulose loaded with olive oil.…”
