Abstract

This review explores the use of plant-based excipients in topical drug delivery. The review examines the advantages and challenges of using plant-based excipients, as well as case studies that demonstrate their effectiveness in delivering drugs through the skin. The review also discusses future perspectives on the use of plant-based excipients, including the potential for developing new formulations and improving drug delivery efficiency. The findings of this review suggest that plant-based excipients have significant potential in topical drug delivery and could offer a more sustainable and natural alternative to synthetic excipients. Overall, this review provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the pharmaceutical industry who are interested in developing new and innovative drug delivery systems.

Keywords
