Design
Laboratory study
Subjects
HaCaT human keratinocyte cells; participants in a human skin patch test (number not stated)
Dose used in the study
Palmitoylethanolamide loaded into elastic nano-liposomes (PEA-ENL), applied topically
Duration
Not stated in the abstract
What was measured
Transdermal delivery and skin retention, cytotoxicity in HaCaT cells, allergic reaction in a human skin patch test, cell migration, and expression of genes linked to anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory and skin-barrier-repair effects

What the authors reported

PEA-ENL showed efficient transdermal delivery and skin retention with negligible toxicity toward HaCaT cells and no allergic reaction in the human skin patch test. Treatment increased cell migration and changed expression of genes tied to anti-nociceptive, anti-inflammatory and skin-barrier-repair effects.

Limits of this study

A formulation study combining cell testing and a skin patch test; it cannot show effect in treating skin conditions in practice. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
