Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are directed to compositions that are useful for delivery of an active ingredient to a subject. Some embodiments are formulated with an active ingredient, including, for example, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen, acetaminophen, or a polypeptide or protein, such as insulin, wherein the active ingredient is stabilized and greater than 90% of the particles of the active ingredient have a particle size that is less than or equal to or any number in between 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, or 4 nanometers, or smaller, as determined by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), using a volume-weighted particle size distribution calculation method.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to approaches for improving water absorption and retention by the skin's surface. In particular, the disclosure provides compositions and methods for preparing mixtures comprised of ethoxylated oils and water or mixtures comprised of micro or nano emulsions and water, which provide enhanced skin hydration or moisturization to a subject.
