TLDR Emulgels are effective for delivering skin medications and cosmetics due to their easy application and controlled release.
Emulgels, a combination of gel and emulsion, emerged as a promising topical drug delivery system for hydrophobic drugs, overcoming the limitations of gels alone. They offer a dual release control system, providing sustained and controlled drug release, and are used for antiseptics, antifungal agents, and skin protectants. Emulgels are advantageous in dermatology due to their thixotropic nature, ease of application and removal, non-greasiness, and long shelf life. They have been utilized for delivering analgesics, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-acne drugs, and various cosmetic formulations.
