A Comprehensive Exploration of Nanomaterials in Cosmetics

Abstract

Nanomaterials attract great interest in developing advanced formulations with improved functionality in the cosmetics industry. This article focuses on using nanomaterials in cosmetics, particularly in developing smart delivery systems. A key advantage of using nanomaterials is their ability to encapsulate active ingredients such as vitamins, antioxidants, and moisturisers. This allows for a targeted and controlled release of these ingredients, optimising their effectiveness. Researchers actively explore novel nanomaterials with unique properties, such as enhanced bioavailability and increased stability, that potentially revolutionise cosmetic products. However, safety, regulatory requirements, and consumer acceptance must be carefully considered to ensure nanomaterials' responsible and successful integration into the cosmetics industry.
