Rosehip Extract-Loaded Liposomes for Potential Skin Application: Physicochemical Properties of Non- and UV-Irradiated Liposomes.

The study successfully encapsulated rosehip extract in liposomes using a single-step method. UV irradiation did not affect the liposomes' properties or antioxidant capacity. This finding is useful for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic industries that require liposomal sterilization.
