Essential Oils: Pharmaceutical Applications and Encapsulation Strategies into Lipid-Based Delivery Systems

Cinzia Cimino et al.

Summary: Essential oils have been studied for over 60 years, with a growing interest in recent decades due to a renewed focus on natural remedies. These oils have therapeutic properties that have been utilized for thousands of years, but their main limitations include poor hydrophobicity, high volatility, and potential toxicity risks. Strategies such as encapsulation within delivery systems have been successful in enhancing the bioavailability and stability of essential oils. Among these platforms, lipid-based delivery systems such as micro- and nanoemulsions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers are particularly promising.
