“…1–7 They act as excipients in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations, stabilize dispersed systems, increase drug solubility, and can be used as drug permeability enhancers. 8–12 Their self-assembling properties lead to the formation of micelles, and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) is a crucial parameter for these molecules. 13 When the concentration of the surfactants falls below the CMC, they form a coating on interfacial surfaces, reducing surface tension across gas, liquid, and solid interfaces.…”
