Abstract The long lifespan of the world's population has been raising interest in the research for new solutions to delay the aging process. With the aim of skin aging prevention, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) were developed in this work for the encapsulation of three lipophilic natural compounds extracted from vine cane-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), resveratrol and myricetin. The developed loaded-SLNs proved to be stable, maintaining their adequate physicochemical characteristics for 30 days. In addition, the loaded-SLNs formulations exhibited high encapsulation efficiencies and loading capacities and high intracellular antioxidant activity. The mixture of EGCG-loaded SLNs with resveratrol-loaded SLNs proved to have the highest protection against induced oxidative stress. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the loaded SLNs was also evaluated, showing that the developed formulations are biocompatible for concentrations up to 50 mu g/mL and could be safe for use in cosmetics. The encapsulation of EGCG, resveratrol and myricetin in SLNs seems to be a suitable strategy for the delivery of these antioxidants to the skin, improving their bioavailability.
