Application of Nanoparticles in Cosmetics

Abstract

The application of nanotechnology in cosmetics can explore the greatest potentials of active substances, leading to improved performance of cosmetics. However, the safety of nanoparticles is still controversial. This review aims to summarize the application and impact of nanotechnology in cosmetics. The advantages and potential drawbacks of nanoparticles in augmenting cosmetic absorption were discussed. A meticulous analysis is conducted to explore how nanomaterials are ingeniously utilized either through their exceptional structural properties or via nanotechnology to magnify the performance of cosmetics. Additionally, the formidable challenges and uncertainties associated with employing nanotechnology in various types of cosmetics were also evaluated.
