REVIEW ON NANOEMULGEL

Sneha Vinod*, Shripathy D. and Shabaraya A. R.

ABSTRACT

In contrast to other semisolid preparations, gels are now often used in both medicinal and cosmetic formulations. Emulgel is the name given to the combination of gel and emulsion. The promising drug delivery method for hydrophobic medicines is emulgel. An emulsion can be turned into emulgel by combining it with gelling agents. The fundamental restriction of gels' many benefits is the delivery of hydrophobic medicines. Therefore, the emulsion-based technique is being employed to get around this restriction. Emulgel is used to relieve aches and pains brought on by colds, headaches, muscle aches, backaches, arthritis, and other ailments. In chronic skin illnesses such fungal infections, acne, and psoriasis, patient adherence to topical formulations is critical. Emulgels are thixotropic, greaseless, readily spreadable, easily removed, emollient, nonstaining, long shelf life, clear, and have a beautiful look, all of which are beneficial for dermatological use. Emulgels are a type of emulsion that has gained popularity in recent years. Emulgels, which contain a dual release control mechanism (Gel and Emulsion), have emerged as one of the most intriguing topical delivery technologies.
