Kakubari I, Sasaki H, Takayasu T, Yamauchi H, Takayama S, Takayama K. Effects of ethylcellulose and 2-octyldodecanol additives on skin permeation and irritation with ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer matrix patches containing formoterol fumarate. Biol Pharm Bull. 2006 Aug;29(8):1717-22. doi: 10.1248/bpb.29.1717.
Abstract. Skin permeation of formoterol fumarate (FF) and irritation with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer matrix patches was investigated using rat and human skin in vitro and different species of experimental animal, respectively.
Mbah CJ. Studies on the lipophilicity of vehicles (or co-vehicles) and botanical oils used in cosmetic products. Pharmazie. 2007 May;62(5):351-3.
Abstract. The lipophilic character of five vehicles (or co-vehicles): diethylhexylmaleate, dimethicone, light mineral oil, octyldodecanol and oleyl alcohol and eight botanical oils: Aloe vera oil, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, grape leaf oil, grape seed oil, hazelnut oil, jojoba oil and safflower oil was determined by partitioning esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) between them and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4).
Parente ME, Gámbaro A, Solana G. Study of sensory properties of emollients used in cosmetics and their correlation with physicochemical properties. J Cosmet Sci. 2005 May-Jun;56(3):175-82.
Abstract. Eight liquid emollients (mineral oil, sunflower oil, squalane, decyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, octyldodecanol, dimethicone, and cyclomethicone) were characterized by instrumental and sensory methods and evaluated to determine the relationship between sensory and instrumental measures.
Maktabi B, Liberatore MW, Baki G. Meadowfoam seed oil as a natural dispersing agent for colorants in lipstick. Int J Cosmet Sci. 2021 Aug;43(4):484-493. doi: 10.1111/ics.12724.
Abstract. In this study, meadowfoam seed oil was evaluated as a pigment-dispersing agent for lipsticks and compared with castor oil and octyldodecanol.
Alves T, Arranca D, Martins A, Ribeiro H, Raposo S, Marto J. Complying with the Guideline for Quality and Equivalence for Topical Semisolid Products: The Case of Clotrimazole Cream. Pharmaceutics. 2021 Apr 14;13(4):555. doi: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13040555.
Abstract. Semisolids constitute a significant proportion of topical pharmaceutical dosage forms available on the market, with creams being considered profitable systems for releasing active substances into the skin. This work aimed at the development of a generic Clotrimazole topical cream, based on the assumptions that assist the development of such formulations.
de Vargas BA, Bidone J, Oliveira LK, Koester LS, Bassani VL, Teixeira HF. Development of topical hydrogels containing genistein-loaded nanoemulsions. J Biomed Nanotechnol. 2012 Apr;8(2):330-6. doi: 10.1166/jbn.2012.1386.
Abstract. This article describes the development of topical hydrogels containing genistein-loaded nanoemulsions, obtained by means of spontaneous emulsification.
