The application of Nanoemulsion is one of the growing technologies used in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical
industries as a novel delivery system for drugs and lipophilic materials such as essential oils, flavours, colours and
fatty acids. These technological application of nanoemulsions have increasing used in the cosmetic applications
due to their characteristic properties of small droplet size (in the range 20-200 nm) with high interfacial area,
transparent or translucent appearance, high solubilization capacity, low viscosity, and high kinetic stability due to
sedimentation, flocculation, and in some cases, the coalescence. Nanoemulsions are more suitable delivery system
for the transport of lipophilic compounds as they support the skin penetration of active ingredients and thus
increase their concentration in the skin which plays an important role in cosmetics product formulations. As a
result, the characteristic of Nanoemulsion meets the fundamental process of formulating such products as body
lotions, skin creams and sunscreens.
