ABSTRACT

To address the significant issues with traditional drug delivery systems, a cutting-edge method of drug delivery has been created. This review provides a thorough understanding of a nanoemulsion system. Nanoemulsions are emulsions that are produced in nanometer sizes to enhance the delivery of pharmacological active substances. These are the thermodynamically stable isotropic systems in which an emulsifying agent, such as a surfactant and a co-surfactant, is used to combine two immiscible liquids into a single phase. Nanoemulsion typically has droplet sizes between 20 and 200 nm. The size and shape of the particles scattered in the continuous phase determines how an emulsion and a nanoemulsion differ most from one another. This review's emphasis is on providing a general understanding of nanoemulsion's formulation, method of preparation, characterisation techniques, evaluation criteria, and numerous applications.
