Abstract

Lecithin-type liposomes are stabilized with quaternized alkyated polymers, such as steardimonium hydroxyethylcellulose, to provide excellent stability for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. Temperature, storage, solvent, and acidity stability are described. The stabilized liposomes can serve as vectors for alpha-hydroxy acids and showed no aggregation even after 4 months of storage at pH 2.
