Many major companies in the sector are putting the spotlight on producing unique and innovative solutions to fortify their market position. Take, for example, the Kao Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer specializing in health, beauty care, and chemical products.

It is well-known for its diverse health benefits such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. With such potential health advantages, Gallic Acid (GA) has gained interest for its use in drug delivery, especially in the creation of nanocarrier systems that amplify its bioavailability.
