Essential oil-in-water microemulsions for topical application: structural study, cytotoxic effect and insect repelling activity
Résumé
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from aromatic plants have been well recognized for their insect repellent properties. Although EOs are effective when freshly applied, their protective effect usually dissipates quickly due to low chemical stability and rapid volatilization of their ingredients. To address this issue, encapsulation in protective carrier materials at the nanoscale is proposed.
