compared to liposomes. Small sized droplets and high surface area of nano-emulsions contribute greatly in inhibiting inherent creaming, flocculation, sedimentation and coalescence which are frequently observed in macroemulsions [33]. They have gained popularity in cosmetics due to ease of permeability and penetration into the skin owing to their small size and high surface area, solubility, transparency and color.

Advantages of using Nanoemulsions in cosmetics


Oil in water nanoemulsions, due to their lipophilic interior have numerous applications in cosmetics such as formulation of lotions, sunscreens and skin creams, hair care products and make up removal substances. Other extremely important and fast growing applications include Emulsion based wet wipes and PEG (Polyethylene glycol) free nanoemulsions [40].
