A hydrophobic topical skin composition is disclosed. The composition includes greater than 50% w/w of the composition of a continuous hydrophobic carrier, 5-24% w/w of one or more volatile silicone fluids, and 0.1 to 5% w/w of the composition of a plurality of taxane nanoparticles, wherein the mean particle size (number) of the taxane nanoparticles is from 0.1 microns to 1.5 microns, and wherein the taxane nanoparticles are crystalline nanoparticles or a combination of amorphous and crystalline nanoparticles.

Delivery of drug nanoparticles and methods of use thereof

Disclosed are compositions and methods useful for enhancing the skin penetration of drug nanoparticles. The compositions can be hydrophobic and include a hydrophobic carrier, a volatile silicone fluid, and drug nanoparticles. Also disclosed are methods for inhibiting crystal growth of drug nanoparticles in an aqueous carrier or a hydrophobic carrier. Further, methods to topically treat psoriasis using compositions containing nanoparticles of paclitaxel or other taxanes are disclosed.
