The Claim
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) composed of 3% w/w isopropyl myristate and 4% w/w cetyl palmitate achieve a bemotrizinol loading capacity of 8% w/w with a particle size of 190.6 nm and low polydispersity, and exhibit superior stability compared to NLC formulations using decyl oleate or caprylic/capric triglyceride.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
NLCs made with 3% isopropyl myristate and 4% cetyl palmitate can carry 8% bemotrizinol, have a particle size of 190.6 nm, low size variation, and are more stable than NLCs made with decyl oleate or caprylic/capric triglyceride.

The specific oils form a tightly packed solid structure inside tiny particles, which holds more sunscreen chemical without letting it leak out, and keeps the particles from clumping together.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Bemotrizinol-Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles for the Development of Sunscreen Emulsions
Scientists made tiny sunscreen particles using two specific oils, and found they held more sunscreen chemical without clumping — better than other oil mixtures. This means they’re more stable and likely work better in real sunscreens.
