This work designates EthoLeciplex, a vesicular system consisting of phospholipid, CTAB, ethanol and water, as an innovative vesicular system for cutaneous/transfollicular minoxidil (MX) delivery. MX-loaded EthoLeciplex was fabricated by one-step fabrication process. Formulations were designed to study the effects of drug/phospholipid ratio, CTAB/phospholipid ratio, and ethanol concentration on vesicular size, PDI, surface charge and EE%. The optimized formulation was characterized by
