Abstract

The vesicles are prepared from a lipid phase containing a mixture of nonionic amphiphilic lipids consisting of a mixture of esters of at least one polyol chosen from the group composed of polyethylene glycol containing from 1 to 60 ethylene oxide units, sorbitan, sorbitan bearing 2 to 60 ethylene oxide units, glycerol bearing 2 to 30 ethylene oxide units, polyglycerols containing 2 to 15 glycerol units, sucroses, and glucoses bearing 2 to 30 ethylene oxide units and of at least one fatty acid containing a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched C.sub.5 -C.sub.17 alkyl chain, the number of alkyl chains per polyol group being between 1 and 10, the mixture being stabilized with ionic amphiphilic lipid or lipids chosen from the group composed of those which impart a pH of between 5.5 and 7.5 to the dispersion.
