For biological activity studies¡ªincluding 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl radical (DPPH) scavenging, metal ion chelating, and inhibition of lipid and tyrosinase inhibition activities¡ªthe CPSO-HP¦ÂCD inclusion complex exhibited lower inhibition activity than free CPSO. CPSO-HP¦ÂCD dispersion, serum, and gel formulations were prepared. All formulations containing the CPSO-HP¦ÂCD inclusion complex showed no significant changes in physical characteristics after three months¡¯ storage. The percentages of oleic acid remaining in all formulations were over 80% of the initial amount during a three-month stability study. For the skin-penetration study, compared to other formulations, the CPSO-HP¦ÂCD serum formulation exhibited the highest cumulative amount of oleic acid in the whole skin and flux through receptor fluid, after six hours, of 32.75 ¡À 1.25 ¦Ìg/cm 2 and 1.02 ¡À 0.15 ¦Ìg/cm 2/h, respectively. The CPSO-HP¦ÂCD serum formulation also showed the proper viscosity. Hence, the CPSO-HP¦ÂCD inclusion complex will be beneficial for the further development of cosmeceutical products.
