“…Some applications of dendrimers were already mentioned above; they derive from their physico-chemical properties, such as structural versatility, self-assembly capability, stability and ability to engage in electrostatic interactions [4][5][6][70][71][72][73]. Thus, their capacity to encapsulate molecules of appropriate size in the internal cavities or the possibility of grafting molecules covalently to their periphery allow them to be used in many fields [74].…”

Dendrimers are increasingly being studied in the context of encapsulation. Many potential applications of dendrimers are based on their properties. They are used in drug delivery systems, cosmetics, food and chemistry. This review is first devoted to different synthesis approaches for dendrimers and to their ability to encapsulate active molecules. Their applications in different fields, as well as their cytotoxicity, are then detailed. To conclude this review, the main works on the interaction of dendrimers with the stratum corneum (SC) are also presented.
