Abstract Introduction: vegetable ingredients are increasingly common in skin products.Avocado Pin oil is an ingredient of natural sources with various properties on the skin.In this work, crude avocado oil-loaded nanocapsules were evaluated regarding its physicochemical stability to obtain a formulation of skin delivery with adequate quality: suitable physicochemical stability, with low polydispersity and with a pH suitable for cutaneous application.Method: nanoparticle formulations with components variation were evaluated for 2 months.

Nanoparticle formulation considered the most stable was further evaluated for 6 months.Furthermore, the oxidative stability of crude avocado oil loaded in nanocapsules and standard avocado oil was also performed to detect any sign of oil oxidation.Results: all formulations had negative zeta potential after 2 months of storage.pH values of nanoparticles remained stable throughout the test.

Formulation with the lowest content of ingredients exhibited the highest stability after 2 months of storage.Nanoencapsulated avocado oil and crude avocado oil showed no evidence Bundle of oxidation.Conclusions: Aqueous dispersions with the lowest content of ingredients presented the best physicochemical stability.Therefore, we have demonstrated preliminary the feasibility of developing avocado-oil loaded nanocapsules.
