Demonstrates enhanced UV shielding and mechanical properties in cellulose films with liposome incorporation, indicating a new alternative for tattoo aftercare.
This study introduces cellulose films enriched with vitamin A/E liposomes as sustainable, bioactive dressings for tattoo aftercare. Morphological analysis showed a smoother, more continuous microtexture than the neat cellulose films, while x‐ray diffraction indicated reduced crystallinity upon liposome incorporation. Optically, the liposome–cellulose films combined strong ultraviolet shielding across 300–400 nm with visible transparency. Time‐resolved contact‐angle measurements placed them between neat cellulose and polyurethane, indicating controlled fluid uptake consistent with a moist, non‐occlusive interface. Thermogravimetry revealed a higher peak degradation temperature with only a minimal change in onset. In uniaxial tension, the films reached a peak modulus of 16 GPa and maximum strength of 290 MPa at 50°C temperature, approaching high‐performance nanocellulose benchmarks. Together, these results show that liposome–cellulose films integrate UV shielding, tunable wettability, and enhanced thermal‐mechanical response, advancing a bio‐based alternative to conventional dressings for newly tattooed skin.
