Nanoemulgel: A Smarter Topical Lipidic Emulsion-Based Nanocarrier

The document discusses the potential of Nanoemulgel, a nanotechnology-based method for applying topical drugs. Nanoemulgel is a gel composed of diverse nano-lipoidal compositions and is an emulsion-based topical gel product. It is made by adding the correct gelling ingredient to emulsion globules created using high or low energy processes. Nanoemulgels can be made from a variety of polymeric polymers, surfactants, and fats that range in size from 5 nm to 500 nm. They have been shown to be effective for both short-term and long-term topical treatments. The use of nanoemulgel formulations of recently patented drugs in various healthcare settings has demonstrated that topical administration is superior to other methods. However, toxicological studies must consider the safety of the chemicals used in these formulations, as the administration method has significantly changed.
