This review paper collects the recent updates regarding the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics. Special focus is given to the applications of nanomaterials in the cosmetic industry, their unique features, as well as the advantages of nanoscale ingredients compared to non-nanoscale products. The state-of-the-art practices for physicochemical and toxicological characterization of nanomaterials are also reviewed. Moreover, special focus is given to the current regulations and safety assessments that are currently in place regarding the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics-the new 2019 European guidance for the safety assessment of nanomaterials in cosmetics, together with the new proposed methodologies for the toxicity evaluation of nanomaterials. Concerns over health risks have limited the further incorporation of nanomaterials in cosmetics, and since new nanomaterials may be used in the future by the cosmetic industry, a detailed characterization and risk assessment are needed to fulfill the standard safety requirements.
这篇综述论文收集了有关纳米材料在化妆品中应用的最新进展。特别关注了纳米材料在化妆品行业中的应用、其独特特性，以及与非纳米级产品相比纳米级成分的优势。还综述了纳米材料物理化学和毒理学表征的最新实践。此外，特别关注了目前关于纳米材料在化妆品中使用的现行法规和安全评估——2019年欧洲化妆品中纳米材料安全评估的新指南，以及纳米材料毒性评估的新提议方法。对健康风险的担忧限制了纳米材料在化妆品中的进一步应用，并且由于未来化妆品行业可能会使用新的纳米材料，因此需要进行详细的表征和风险评估以满足标准安全要求。
