Review on Nanoparticle-Based Creams: Formulation, Characterization, and Applications in Therapeutics
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Nanoparticle-based creams have emerged as a promising advancement in the field of pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations due to their ability to enhance drug delivery, improve skin penetration, and provide sustained release of active ingredients. This review explores the formulation strategies, characterization techniques, and therapeutic applications of nanoparticle creams. Various types of nanoparticles, including liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and polymeric nanoparticles, are discussed in terms of their advantages, challenges, and suitability for topical application. Additionally, the review delves into the mechanisms by which nanoparticles enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of active compounds, with a focus on dermatological applications such as wound healing, anti-aging, and drug delivery for skin diseases. Finally, future perspectives on the development of nanoparticle creams are presented, highlighting the need for innovation in formulation strategies, clinical testing, and regulatory standards.
