GlossaryNanoemulsions

tiny droplets of one liquid dispersed in another, enhancing delivery

Nanoemulsions are tiny droplets of one liquid dispersed within another, typically oil in water or water in oil, with droplet sizes ranging from 20 to 200 nanometers. These emulsions are used in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, due to their ability to improve the delivery and absorption of active ingredients, enhance stability, and provide a clear or translucent appearance.
