The use of lipids in the composition of polymeric-based films for topical administration
of bioactive ingredients is a recent research topic; while few products are commercially available,
films containing lipids represent a strategic area for the development of new products. Some
lipids are usually used in polymeric-based film formulations due to their plasticizing action, with a
view to improving the mechanical properties of these films. On the other hand, many lipids have
healing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging properties, among others, that make them even
more interesting for application in the medical-pharmaceutical field. This manuscript discusses
the production methods of these films both on a laboratory and at industrial scales, the properties
of the developed biopolymers, and their advantages for the development of dermatologic and
cosmetic products.
