The U.S. soybean industry wanted government help due to foreign competition, while the jojoba industry was growing and expected to stabilize.

In this study, researchers developed microcapsules and effervescent tablets containing policosanol from insect wax, achieving high encapsulation efficiency and rapid water dispersion, effectively addressing the challenges of solubility and psychological acceptance in consuming insect-based lipids.

In this study, an Emulgel containing Tridax procumbens extract was formulated and found to have promising physical properties and antimicrobial activity for wound healing.

This review discusses the current research and development of mannosylerythritol lipids, particularly focusing on their potential commercial applications in cosmetics; it reports no new results.

This study found that incorporating a block copolymer significantly alters the size and morphology of niosome drug delivery systems made of non-ionic surfactants and cholesterol, affecting their stability.

This review highlights that transferosomes, or ultradeformable lipids, show promise for improving dermal delivery, exhibiting efficient drug transport across the skin's barrier and offering potential benefits for treating chronic skin disorders with better bioavailability.

This study found that high concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide are needed to cause significant swelling in hair fibers, though the swelling is reversible, unlike the effects on skin.

This review discusses the advantages and properties of mucoadhesive buccal dosage forms and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the potential of spanlastics as flexible, biodegradable drug carriers.

This article reviews mollugin's reported biological activities, including its potential for various therapeutic and cosmetic applications such as anti-tumor effects and hair growth stimulation, but presents no new experimental data.

This study reported the preparation of stable oil-in-water nanoemulsions that effectively incorporate ceramide-like molecules and minoxidil, suggesting these formulations may enhance distribution and availability of hydrophobic compounds in cosmetic applications.

In this study, shampoos containing sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate showed superior coacervate formation and lubrication on wet hair, outperforming other amino acid surfactants and suggesting potential for creating low-irritation, high-performance hair products.

This study found that an optimized microemulsion for minoxidil with high solubility, permeation flux, and skin deposition can be achieved with specific low and high levels of certain surfactants and co-solvents.

This study found that liposomes coated with cationic polymers, chitosan and Eudragit EPO, showed improved physicochemical stability and enhanced skin diffusion of aciclovir and minoxidil compared to uncoated liposomes.

This study analyzed hair styling mousses on the Slovenian market, finding that their formulations primarily rely on polymers, with no banned ingredients according to European cosmetics regulations.

In this study, mannosylerythritol lipids from soybean oil notably increased fibroblast and papilla cell viability, suggesting potential as a hair growth agent.

This study found that the nonionic surfactant Brij 78 stabilized cationic minoxidil microparticles against aggregation, maintaining their substantivity in the presence of excess anionic surfactant.

This study evaluated a microemulsion-based flushing fluid made with castor oil that effectively removed 84.85% of mud cake formed by drilling fluid, highlighting its Newtonian fluid behavior and high wettability inversion capability.
