ABSTRACT
Rice bran wax, derived from the outer layer of rice grains, has emerged as a novel excipient for pharmaceutical topical dosage forms. This study explores the unique physicochemical properties of rice bran wax, such as its excellent emulsifying, thickening, and stabilizing capabilities, which make it an ideal ingredient for topical formulations. Through a series of formulation experiments, rice bran wax demonstrated its potential to enhance the consistency, stability, and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in creams, ointments, and lotions. Furthermore, its natural origin and biocompatibility offer significant advantages over synthetic excipients. This research underscores the versatility and efficacy of rice bran wax, paving the way for its broader application in the pharmaceutical industry.
