A review on ethosomes promising as novel drug delivery systems

Ethosomes are new lipid-based vesicular carriers that improve medication penetration across the stratum corneum due to their high ethanol concentration. Because of this special characteristic, ethosomes may efficiently transport hydrophilic and lipophilic medications via topical or transdermal routes deep into the skin or even into the systemic circulation. Improved skin penetration, adaptability in drug loading, and biocompatibility are only a few benefits of ethersomes. Vesicle stability issues, such phospholipid oxidation and vesicle fusion during storage, are still problematic, nevertheless. To describe ethosomal formulations and guarantee their quality, effectiveness, and safety as drug delivery vehicles, a range of assessment techniques are used.
