Research Summary: It has been recognized that the vehicle in which a permeant is applied to the skin has a distinctive effect on the dermal and transdermal delivery of active ingredients. The cutaneous and percutaneous absorptions can be enhanced, for example, by an increase in thermodynamic activity, supersaturation, and penetration modifiers.
