Replacing Emulsifiers with Gelation: A Surfactant-Free Approach to Emulgel Formulation Using Polyvinyl Alcohol
Conventional emulgels require emulsifiers to stabilize oil and water, which may cause skin irritation and complicate formulations. This study aimed to develop a surfactant-free emulgel using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as both gelling and st...
