Folic acid (FA) is a key factor in the physiological processes of cell metabolism; as it is involved in DNA synthesis and repair, it can be used in the treatment of aged and photo-damaged skin. The main drawbacks associated to FA use, particularly for topical applications, are the limited solubility and the sensitivity to UV rays. Hybrias or FA with two kinds or layered double hydroxides (ZnAl-LDH and MgAl-LDH) ware prepared and characterized showing suitable particle size, flow properties and UV photoprotection. The introduction of FA-LDHs in the external water phase of O/W emulgels produced an enhancement of their flow properties; moreover, the spectrophotometric analyses showed that very good photostability is maintained even after their introduction into the formulations. In-vitro release studies showed that the FA-LDH containing emulgels promoted a sustained FA release as expected. Finally, the safety of FA-LDH was evaluated by in-vitro studies performed on human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and human primary dermal fibroblasts (as a skin representative). The obtained results showed a high cytotoxic effect of ZnAl-LDH-FA in both cell lines.
