Human skin offers ideal and multiple sites to administer therapeutic agents for both local and systemic action. Emulgel is an emerging topical drug delivery system in which if more effort is done towards its preparations with a greater number of topically effective drugs it will prove a boon for derma care products and cosmetic products as it has the dual release control system i.e., gel and emulsion. Within the major group of semisolid preparations, the use of transparent gels has expanded both in cosmetics and in pharmaceutical preparations. In spite of many advantages of gels a major limitation is in the delivery of hydrophobic drugs because solubility act as a barrier and problem arises during the release of the drug. So, to overcome this limitation an emulsion-based approach is being used so that even a hydrophobic therapeutic moiety can enjoy the unique properties of gels. When gels and emulsions are used in combined from the dosage forms are referred to Emulgel. The main objective is to develop jellified emulsion to decrease the systemic side effects and to create pronounced effect with lower doses of drug. Emulgels for dermatological use have several favourable properties such as being thixotropic, greaseless, easily spreadable, easily removable, emollient, non-staining, water-soluble, longer shelf-life, bio-friendly, transparent and pleasing appearance. So, Emulgel can be used as better topical drug delivery systems over present conventional systems available in market. The use of Emulgels can be extended in analgesics, antifungal, antiviral, anti-arthritis drugs and various cosmetic formulations.
