Development And Characterization Of Eugenol In Cinnamon Leaf Oil Nanocream For Wound Healing

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) leaf oil contains high percentage of eugenol and has antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, the undiluted oil can cause irritation to the skin. Therefore, to avoid irritation cinnamon leaf oils was formulated into nanocream. The nanocre...
