Dispersions in transcutol/isopropyl myristate make C 60 fullerene molecules suitable for transdermal delivery. We found that C 60 can successfully permeate the skin using pig skin in Franz diffusion cells. Molecular dynamics simulations and transmission electron microscopy confirmed these observations. Basic cosmetic formulations with transcutol/isopropyl myristate without harsh organic solvents show a high potential for delivery of C 60 for biopharmaceutical and cosmetics applications.
