“…Recently, uniform and size controllable silicone oil emulsions have emerged as prospective systems to overcome the limitations existing in conventional formulations [26][27][28]. They demonstrate improved appearance, stability and application performance because they avoid the process of coalescence and Ostwald ripening due to their narrow size distribution [29,30].…”

Synopsis Silicone oils have wide range of applications in personal care products due to their unique properties of high lubricity, non‐toxicity, excessive spreading and film formation. They are usually employed in the form of emulsions due to their inert nature. Until now, different conventional emulsification techniques have been developed and applied to prepare silicone oil emulsions. The size and uniformity of emulsions showed important influence on stability of droplets, which further affect the application performance. Therefore, various strategies were developed to improve the stability as well as application performance of silicone oil emulsions. In this review, we highlight different factors influencing the stability of silicone oil emulsions and explain various strategies to overcome the stability problems. In addition, the silicone deposition on the surface of hair substrates and different approaches to increase their deposition are also discussed in detail.

“…Microemulsions have seen increasing popularity for cosmeceutical manufacturers in the production of moisturizing creams, sunscreens, antiperspirants, body gels, and various hair care products (Azeem et al, 2008). Microemulsions have the ability to drastically increase the efficiency of these cosmeceutical products and also increase their stability (Boonme, 2007).…”

“…Microemulsions have the ability to drastically increase the efficiency of these cosmeceutical products and also increase their stability (Boonme, 2007). This is due to the fact that microemulsions are capable of solubilizing both hydro and lipophilic ingredients (Azeem et al, 2008), in turn broadening the spectrum of useable ingredients.…”

Canada's food waste reached $31 billion in 2014. 95% of this waste ended up in landfills across the country, being a severe burden both economically and environmentally. By implementing sustainable agriculture projects, alternative uses can be found for food waste that produce positive income for companies, and alleviate stresses on the environment. Grape pomace, a food waste produced through the process of wine-making, currently ends up in landfills after wine-production. However, this agricultural by-product holds great market potential for the production of chemical microemulsions. These microemulsion systems show great potential in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industries. The market potential was calculated by determining the volume of grape seed oil that could be extracted from grape pomace. The current market value of microemulsion surfactants were then obtained and a value was calculated based on the oil yield. Grape pomace microemulsions had the highest market potential as pharmaceutical raw ingredients, followed respectively by food additive and cosmeceutical raw ingredients. The purpose of this paper is to measure the market potential for grape pomace microemulsions in each of these industries and to provoke further investigations into the production of value added products from agricultural waste.

Recent progress in combinatorial drug has led to the generation of a large number of new compounds. microemulsions are versatile systems of great technological and scientific interest to the researchers because of their potential to incorporate a wide range of drug molecules (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) due to the presence of both lipophilic and hydrophilic domains. A micro emulsion is a transparent, thermodynamically stable mixture of two immiscible liquid stabilized by surfactant (or mixture of surfactant). Microemulsions have many advantages for instance, more drug solubility, thermodynamic stability, manufacturing and permeation is easy over conventional formulations that convert them to important drug delivery systems. The design and development of microemulsions aimed at controlling or improving required bioavailability levels of therapeutic agents. Through this review an attempt has been made to focus on several recent developments occurred in the field of microemulsions based applications and which confirms its role as a suitable cargoes for delivery of drugs. In that note, the relevance of this paper and the truncated basic aspects and application on microemulsions are discussed.permeation. Interest in these versatile carriers is increasing and their applications have been diversified to various administration routes in addition to the conventional oral route. This can be attributed to their unique solubilization properties and thermodynamic stability which has drawn attention for their use as novel vehicles for drug delivery [5][6][7].Microemulsions have advantages over both colloidal systems under investigation and conventional emulsions, suspensions and micellar solutions and may provide alternative drug carriers [8]. They are promising delivery systems which allow sustained or controlled drug release for percutaneous, peroral, topical, transdermal, ocular and parenteral administration of medicaments. They offer the advantage of spontaneous formation, ease of manufacturing and scale-up, thermodynamic stability, improved drug solubilization of hydrophobic drugs and bioavailability. Also, microemulsions that have inverse micellar structure may be less comedogenic than either creams or solutions [9,10].Microemulsions are quaternary systems composed of an oil phase, a water system, surfactants and a cosurfactant [11]. These spontaneously formed systems possess specific physicochemical properties such as transparency, optical isotropic, low viscosity and thermodynamic stability. The observed transparency of these systems is due to the fact that the maximum size of the droplets of the dispersed phase is not larger than one-fourth of the wavelength of visible light approximately 150 nm. Droplet diameter in stable microemulsions is usually within the range of 10-100 nm (100-1000 °A), which means that the term 'micro emulsion' is misleading and these systems are actually Nano-sized emulsions. Many studies have shown that micro emulsion formulations possessed improved transdermal and dermal delivery p...
