The use of sunscreens with sun protective cloths is the photoprotection way mostly used by Occidentals. During sweating or a bath, those products should be still efficient. As the emulsion is the mostly used type of product format, it is essential that the scientist knows how to formulate an emulsion which will be water resistant. The HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) of a formulation has high influence on this characteristic.

Introduction of non-DLVO forces by nonionic surfactants brings about fascinating changes in the phase behavior of silica nanosuspensions. We show here that alterations in the interaction and wetting properties of negatively charged silica nanoparticles (Ludox® LS) in the presence of polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide-based triblock copolymers called Pluronics lead to the formation of stable o/w Pickering emulsions and interparticle attraction-induced thermoresponsive liquid-liquid phase separations. The results make interesting comparisons with those reported for Ludox® TM nanosuspensions comprising larger silica nanoparticles.

Unlabelled: Mixed-mode sorbents exhibit two or more primary retention mechanisms, which can enhance the selectivity and capacity of the extraction process in a single step. In this study, a facile approach was proposed to prepare functionalized metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by post-synthetic oxidation. The composites could be varied independently for each processing step, resulting in four frameworks to meet different sample pretreatment requirements.

Article Synopsis
- A new method using elastic lipid nanovesicles (ELNs) loaded with Lantana camara extract is developed to improve the permeation of active compounds through the skin.
- The study produced 15 different formulations and examined factors like vesicle size, surface characteristics, and the impact on skin permeation using a model resembling human skin (Start-M).
- Results showed that smaller vesicle sizes (100-200 nm) significantly enhanced the permeation of the extract, and that the optimal surfactant ratio led to over 75% of the extract permeating within 8 hours; the ELN formulation also demonstrated a strong reduction in skin cancer cell viability.
- Future research should focus on the long-term safety and clinical applications of ELNs

Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) represent a significant advance in green chemistry, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional organic solvents for applications in extraction, reaction media, and formulations. This study explores the application of NADES in essential oil formulations, using lavender essential oil (LEO) to investigate the solubilization and release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Two distinct NADES formulations were evaluated: hydrophilic NADES combined with surfactants, and hydrophobic NADES.

Background: In recent years, the increasing accumulation of estrogen pollutants in the environment has raised concerns about their impact on human health, necessitating the development of highly sensitive detection methods for trace pollutant enrichment and analysis in environmental samples. Online pretreatment detection technology offers significant advantages over conventional offline techniques, including high automation, minimal human intervention, and improved efficiency. However, the key to successful implementation lies in the advancement of novel adsorbent materials.
