It is well established that the structure and function of the skin prevent penetration of many therapeutic molecules to the site of their action in the deep cutaneous strata. The use of nanotechnology has been considerably explored for developing efficient drug delivery systems for topical and transdermal applications. Ethosomes, a nano vasicular carrier designed to overcome the skin barrier(SC), so that new and advanced dermal and indigenous therapies can be achieved. Ethosomes are noninvasive delivery carriers that enable drugs to reach the deep skin layers and/or the systemic circulation. Ethosomes constitute a vesicular nanocarrier containing a relatively high concentration of ethanol (20–45%),water and phospholipid. Ethosomes have higher penetration rate through the skin as compared to liposome’s hence these can be used widely in place of liposome’s. Ethosomes has enhanced skin permeability, improved drug delivery and increased drug entrapment efficiency etc. Ethosomes having an area of research interest, because of its cross the skin barrier due to ethanolic action and enhanced skin permeation, improved drug delivery, increased drug entrapment efficiency, etc.
