Abstract
Oil-in-water microcapsules with varying shell thicknesses were fabricated via a coacervation technique, whereby evaporation of volatile solvents induced the shell-forming polymer to precipitate, phase separate and migrate to the oil/water interface to form microcapsules. These microcapsules encapsulated a lipophilic dye within their cores and were applied topically onto porcine skin for 6 h. Results indicated that the dye preferentially accumulated within the skin furrows and hair follicles, though the dye did not penetrate beyond the stratum corneum. A model estimates the diffusion coefficients of dye through the microcapsule shell and within the skin to be approximately 10-18 and 10-16 m2 s-1, respectively.
