ABSTRACT:
The increased demand for safer, more sustainable, and effective medicines has piqued interest in using Natural resources, Topical drug delivery, Biocompatibility Biodegradability, Herbal bio actives, Hydrogels, Liposomes, Nano emulsions, Green pharmaceutical practices, Eco-friendly healthcare, Natural polymers. Natural resources for topical drug delivery. Plant extracts, essential oils, marine chemicals, and natural polymers are abundant sources of bioactive substances and functional materials suitable for cutaneous applications. These natural compounds have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, and they improve medication penetration and promote skin regeneration. Advances in formulation technology, such as hydrogels, liposomes, and transdermal patches, make it possible to incorporate these bioactive into innovative delivery systems that improve therapeutic outcomes and patient compliance. Despite its promise, obstacles like as standardization, stability, and regulatory approval persist. Further research is required to optimize formulations and establish clinical efficacy, paving the door for nature-inspired breakthroughs in topical medicine.
