Abstract

Nanoformulations have a definite place in the delivery of the active compounds to and through the skin for a range of therapeutic purposes. These are elegant, relatively simple and inexpensive to make and offer significant delivery advantages over coarse emulsions. Nanotechnology is an important technology paving the way for innovative products. Nanotechnologies make use of materials on a minute scale to impart new properties to them differently than their original larger form. Moreover, this technology is capable of modifying a wide variety of consumer products used in daily life that are currently on the market. One such interesting field is Nanocosmetics owing to the fact that nanomaterials can be used to develop novel products. However, the production of UV filters used in sunscreens in a nano form could be more harmful due to their different behaviour than larger forms. Over the past few decades, there has been extensive research demonstrating the effectiveness of these delivery technologies. Also, the development of new excipients with potential utility in nanoformulations continues to offer new opportunities for formulations with high delivery capacity coupled with low irritancy and toxicity. Droplet size, electrical conductivity, drug content, pH and rheological parameters are the parameters that have been studied under different temperatures to evaluate the stability of nano-cream preparation. Thus, the industry, as well as human life, can be drastically modified with exceptional behaviour and properties of nanomaterials. It is probable that we will witness the new Nanoemulsions products for topical and transdermal delivery into the future.
