Prospects of using synthetic and semisynthetic gelling substances in development of medical and cosmetic gels

Abstract

The work is to analyze the range, classification, nomenclature, and advantages of modern synthetic and semi-synthetic gelling substances and prospects of using them in developing gels. Materials and Methods:We have used retrospective, logical, analytical, marketing, and economic research methods for the analysis of modern synthetic and semi-synthetic gelling substances. Results and Discussion:The detailed analysis of modern synthetic and semi-synthetic gelling substances most often used or promising in the development of cosmetics and medicines was carried out. Conclusions: The monitoring of gelling substances of semi-synthetic and synthetic origin demonstrated that the range of the accessory substance group allows to develop up-to-date cosmetic and pharmaceutical gels with satisfactory consuming, physicochemical, and rheological characteristics.
