Problems solved by technology

Larger particles cause reduced contact area between skin and nanoemulsion and cause lower penetration rate
Second, ethanol has a relatively low viscosity of 1.10 cp, which is not optimal for microemulsion stability
In addition, due to the relatively low hydrophobicity of ethanol, the penetration of nanoemulsions through the lipophilic physiological membrane layer of the skin may be impaired
Thus, the stability of the nanoemulsion as well as its bioavailability (i.e. penetration into tissues) is reduced
Also, ethanol is a very expensive alcohol compared to other kinds of alcohols such as isopropanol

Embodiment 3

[0145] Embodiment 3: the particle diameter of nanoemulsion BF-200

[0146] The average particle size of the produced nanoemulsions was less than 100 nm as assessed by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy, PCS (also known as Dynamic Laser Light Scattering, DLS). Furthermore, the nanoemulsions are characterized by a very narrow particle size distribution (see Figure 1 below).

[0147] The nanoemulsions are stable over a wide temperature range, but can be destroyed by freezing and autoclaving. Nanoemulsions are relatively insensitive to changes in pH and ionic strength, and due to their small size, they can be sterilized by filtration through a 0.2 μm filter. Nanoemulsions have the potential to improve the delivery of active substances into the skin, thus enhancing the efficacy of topically applied drugs.

[0148] Nanoemulsion BF-200 was produced using low energy techniques; that is, the preparation of nanoemulsions does not require high shear equipment such as sonicators or high pr...
