The present study aimed to develop polyethylene glycol–liquid crystals (PEG-LC) ointment formulations, assess their formulation characteristics, and establish biocompatibility impact on transdermal drug administration. PEG-LC formulations were prepared using a hydrophilic molecule, p-aminobenzoic acid (PAB). Formulation characterizations such as small-angle X-ray scattering, viscosity, pH, zeta...
