Understanding Transdermal Delivery with Amie Skilton

There is a growing clinical demand to deliver certain nutrients and compounds in transdermal preparations. One FX Medicine listener reached out to us, and asked us to explore transdermal delivery more deeply. So we enlisted the help of Amie Skilton, a naturopath, herbalist and aesthetician to talk about the finer details of delivering therapeutics via the skin. In today's podcast Amie talks about the many variants in skin structure, integrity and hydration that can have an impact on the penetration of nutrients into the skin's deeper layers. She shares what forms of nutrients are most ideal for skin care and some salient cautions and contraindications to be mindful of. Amie also talks about barriers to research and why probiotic-fermented ingredients might be an important player in skin health in the future.
