Nanocosmeceuticals use nano-sized system for the delivery of active ingredients to the targeted cells for better penetration. In this work nanoemulsion from palm oil esters was developed as a delivery system to produce nanocosmeceuticals. The stability of the resulting formulation was tested using various methods. In addition the effect of components . Vitamin E and Pluronic F-68 on the formulation was also studied. Results Both vitamin E and Pluronic F-68 were found to co-emulsify and co-stabilized the formulations. The best formulation was found to be the one having the composition of 10 Palm Oil Esters POEs 10 vitamin E 24 Tween 80 Pluronic F-68 and deionised water. Those compositions are considered to be the best as a nanocosmeceutical product due to the small particle size nm low occurrence of Ostwald ripening and stable at different storing temperatures 5 25 and 45 C for four weeks. Conclusions Palm oil esters-in-water nanoemulsions loaded with vitamin E was successfully formulated and has the potential for the use as nanocosmeceuticals. Introduction Palm oil esters POEs are specialty esters and are emerging oleochemicals in Malaysia as the world s largest exporter and producer of palm oil. In 2008 Malaysia produced million tonnes of crude palm oil and million tonnes of crude palm kernel oil 1 2 . POEs are wax est ers of long chain fatty acids from palm oil esterified with long chain alcohol and have promising revenue as they
