The use of micro- and nanoparticles in the stabilisation of pickering-type emulsions for topical delivery.
Author
Summary, in English
This review describes the use of Pickering emulsions for topical drug delivery. The focus is on Pickering emulsions and how to formulate these. However, a short description of the challenges of topical drug delivery is also given. The article describes how Pickering emulsions might have other properties than traditional topical creams. It is our believe that Pickering emulsions could give added value to topical formulations as it is surfactant free, has new properties, and may alter the transport of drugs across the skin barrier.
