ABOUT
- The skin is the first line of physical defense in the human body. It is the largest organ of the human body which participates in various physiological functions . It consists of three easily distinguishable layers: the stratum corneum, the living epidermis and the dermis. [1-3]Skin diseases are complex and diverse, causing various degrees of disease. Skin topical preparations can act as a local or systemic treatment. Semi-solid topical preparations, a type of common preparation applied in skin medicine, are multiphase in nature, thermodynamically unstable and complex in composition. Semi-solid preparations are classified as a complex preparation and they have applications in the fields of innovative drugs, improved new drugs and generic drugs. [1-3]
