In pharmaceutical formulations nano emulsions are composed of practical within nanometer range. They have capacity to encapsulate drugs that are poorly water soluble due to their hydrophobic nature and also they are composed of safe gradient excipients which makes them safer and stable option to drug delivery. For several decades cancer therapy has been an issue because drugs developed to treat this disease and not always successful or and up failing, mainly due to low solubility and unspecific toxicity. This problem can be resolved by nanoemulsion because it not only solve water solubility problems but also provides specific targeting to cancer cells. This chapter includes overview about the nanoemulsion and various approaches for production of nanoemulsions which include high energy approach such as microfluidizer high pressure valve homogenization, ultrasonic homogenization. In low energy approaches, spontaneous emulsification phase inversion composition, phase inversion temperature and emulsion inversion point are discussed in detail.
